Aggrieved youths in Ondo state, protesting for a total reform of the Nigerian police force, purportedly rejected the sum of N2m offered to them by a senator to enable him pass a roadblock.
It was gathered that the senator driving his Range Rover, arrived one of the protest venue in Ondo state and asked that protesters allow him pass.
When they blatantly refused, he offered N2 million naira so that his request will be granted, however, the youths still turned him down despite the huge sum of money.
According to reports, the senator had to trek to a nearby hotel to take solace, as protesters detained his car and used it to form another blockade.

A Nigerian man identified as Daniel Usoroh has kicked against the actions of those who rejoiced after receiving free credit alerts from their banks.
According to him, real believers wouldn’t rejoice over money which they didn’t work for, but will rather proceed to the bank for proper investigations about the money.
In his words;
“They hack your bank and send you money, you spent it? You have really acted like an unbeliever whose father is the devil.
Angry, offended or not, if it’s not your money, it’s not your money. The bank will accept it and thank youâ€, he wrote.
