Protesters under the aegis of the Peoples Alternative Movement on Friday stormed the streets of Benin demanding better living condition for citizens and security of their lives.

Led by a former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Edo State, Osagie Obayuwana, the protesters called on Nigerian leaders to tackle poverty and insecurity in the country.
