The protesters converged at the popular Interbau roundabout from where they proceeded through the Nnebisi road to the main market Ogbeogonogo.

Prior to their departure from Interbau roundabout, police and soldiers blocked them, attempting to restrict their movement within the Interbau roundabout.

But later, the soldiers and police gave way paving the way for the protesters to move in a file out and headed towards the Nnebisi road through to the Ogbeogonogo market.

Moving round the town, Asaba city was completely locked down as shops, businesses, markets, offices, everywhere was completely under lock and key.

Streets of the city were deserted as Emerald News went round the city. Most of the businesses were shutdown over fear of looting by some hungry protesters.
