The recent protests by Nigerians hiked by the announcement of the removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government on January 1, 2012 have taken another toll.
What is seen as a mere empty protest is almost gradually following suit what has happened in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.
At the day two of the protest for the removal of fuel subsidy holding in Lagos, some angry protesting Nigerians were reported to have visited the houses of two oil merchants, Femi Otedola of African Petroleum (AP), and Bola Tinubu (OANDO Oil), which is in care of Wale Tinubu.
The protesters visited the physical properties of the two oil tycoons on the Island in Lagos and were reported to have attempted to vandalize them.
According to reports reaching NEWSMEN, the two business moguls were not around at the time of the visit by the protesters, as we learnt that they had gone into hiding from the fuming protesters.
Femi Otedola is a member of the Economic team of President Jonathan.
Meanwhile, another protester has been reportedly killed by the police again today at Charity bus stop, Oshodi, Lagos this afternoon.
According to information gathered by NEWSMEN, the protester was shot dead by the police at about 2pm.
Reports have it that other protesters have marched to Makinde Police station at Oshodi to show their displeasures over the killings of harmless and innocent citizens by the security agents.
More details coming later.
