Naira scarcity: Hoodlums attack 4 banks, vandalise property in Epe

As agitations against naira scarcity across the country spreads, Epe town in Lagos State had its fair share of destruction of banks and properties by some suspected hoodlums.

No fewer than four banks were vandalised by some suspected hoodlums in Epe on Friday.

The attacks occurred at about 10 a.m. on Friday as some suspected hoodlums were spotted destroying bank properties in the area.

The banks included Polaris, United Bank for Africa (UBA), Zenith Bank, and First Bank.

Police operatives, however, intervened at the scene to restore peace and normalcy in the area.

All efforts to speak with the Divisional Police Officer and some bank managers proved abortive.
