Youths
from Delta state have stormed the National Assembly in Abuja to protest
government sale of oil mining licenses (OML) in their communities.
Emmanuel
Uti, the legal adviser of the group, told Daily Trust that the sales of
the licenses are fraudulent and they want the government to stop it
immediately.
The
protesting group, earlier thought to be militants, comprises youth
leaders from Itsekiri, Ijaw, Ndokwa, Isoko and Uhrobos ethnic groups in
Delta State.
The
protesters came in about 10 buses belonging to the Delta state
transport authority and blocked the entrance to the National Assembly,
causing heavy traffic build up.
