#ENDSARS: protests paralyse activities in Abuja, Lagos, Enugu, others.

The #EndSARS protests continued on Saturday as economic activities were paralysed in some places across the country , including Lagos , Abuja , and Enugu.
For instance , hundreds of protesters barricaded the Kubwa -Zuba Expressway in Abuja, grinding traffic to a halt .
While some of the campaigners blocked the Kubwa section of the expansive highway , close to the NNPC Junction, others were said to have also blocked off the Gwarimpa section , causing a gridlock in the area .
One of our correspondents learnt that the protesters had earlier passed through the Gado Nasko Way , a major road in Kubwa , before taking over the highway .
The march caused motorists and commuters to be stranded on the 10 -lane highway for many hours , with no security personnel seen in the vicinity .
Human and vehicular movements were also grounded on Saturday on major roads in Nsukka town, Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State , as a result of the # EndSARS protest .
A large number of protesters converged on the Union Primary School Nsukka , as early as 10 am , and went through Nsukka Barracks to Achara , Aku , Enugu road among others .
Also , as protests against police brutality continued in different parts of Benin , Edo State capital, on Saturday , there was gridlock in areas such as Ugbowo , Ramat Park at Ikpoba Hill and Agbor Park .
Meanwhile , the state Commissioner of Police , Babatunde Kokumo , has ordered the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department to commence a full -scale investigation into the immediate and remote cause of Friday ’s killing of a protester by gunmen .
Kokumo, in a statement by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor , vowed that the police would arrest the perpetrators of the dastardly act .
Some youths in their hundreds also on Saturday thronged the major streets of Makurdi , Benue State capital to join the protest .
