The protesters however attempted to reassemble while aiming at mounting a roadblock on the ever-busy road in the Niger State capital.
The development led the policemen to fire gunshots into the air to scare the protesters away.
The policemen and vigilantes were later seen removing the stones the protesters had used to block a section of the road.
