Multiple protests rocked different parts of Benin City about the same time on Wednesday as residents organized under different groups and associations took to the streets to protest peacefully different government actions and inactions.

In what experts and observers described as a continuation of what has become the democratic marker of Edo State under Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, a former leader of the Nigeria Labour Congress, who is famous for leading similar national protests against past governments both at federal and state levels, the different protests terminated at the gates of the Government House in Benin City, where the respective leaders of the protesters submitted their messages and demands to the government.

The protests began at the sprawling and popular Oba Market at Ring Road, where traders took to the streets, causing traffic jams and noisy distractions in protest over the alleged imposition of N3, 000 on each of the about 10, 000 market traders by the Chairman of Oredo Local Government Area, Hon Osaro Obaze.
