Some sets of angry youths besieged the busy Benin-Lagos road in an unusual manner of protest and demonstration.

The youths who are residents of Uselu community in the Benin City were out to register their grievances over a fatal road-side accident where a BMW saloon car killed four women.

An eye-witness who spoke to our correspondent in Benin City said the car rammed into the victims while they were waiting to board a bus along the Benin-Lagos highway.

The development however precipitated tension in the area. The angry youths who stormed the scene of the incident razed the down the accident vehicle immediately.
