Protest has broken out in Asaba, the Delta State capital, over the just concluded presidential and National Assembly elections.
In a video seen on Tuesday morning making the rounds on social media, youths in their hundreds are seen chanting the name of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
The voice behind the video said, “This is happening live in Asaba now. Obi must be the president of Nigeria whether they like it or not. Our votes now.”
The Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilisation captioned the video, “The Asaba youths are protesting right now demanding that INEC should do the right (thing) and stop the ongoing rigging.”
Another tweep, Charles, who posted another video from the protest wrote, “Peaceful protest ongoing in Asaba. We will take this country back from them by God’s grace.”
When contacted by our correspondent, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Bright Edafe said, “I don’t know whether we will call it protest or not.
“But we have drafted policemen to the place to see what is happening and to maintain the peace”
