Meanwhile, some angry youths in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, destroyed a vehicle belonging to the state’s taskforce on illegal street trading.
The taskforce was attacked due to an accident which allegedly claimed the life of a man in the city on Wednesday.
The youths attacked the vehicle with stones but the officials of the task force managed to escape unhurt.
