Thousands of women have taken to the streets of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, following the Supreme Court’s judgement that stopped the inauguration of Chief David Lyon as the governor of the state.
The women took to the streets blocking major roads to protest the judgement insisting that no handover of power would be conducted in the state without Lyon.
The No Lyon, No Governor demonstration was spontaneous as people freely joined the protest that had few placards.
Riots commenced in the state on Thursday night after the judgement as youths blocked popular roads in Yenagoa, the state capital.
The youths, who sang in solidarity displaying the flags of the All Progressives Congress (APC), refused to vacate the roads leaving motorists and commuters stranded.
