Angry residents protest over recent fuel price hike in Warri (video)

Residents of the Warri and Effurun community in Delta State on Tuesday September 4, staged a protest against the recent fuel pump price.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) recalls the NNPC, on Tuesday, adjusted the pump price per litre of petrol to ₦855 across its filling stations. However, some stations have been selling above N1,000 per litre.

Reacting to the development, angry protesters, mostly market women and Keke riders held different placards marching through the streets, blocking some major roads as they registered their displeasure, calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently intervene and reverse the fuel price hike.

 Some of the placards displaced read “Tinubu, intervene now to alleviate commuters’ suffering”; “Tinubu, activate Warri and Kaduna refineries without further delay”.

“We are suffering in silence, the fuel price hike is a killer.”
