About three persons have reportedly lost their lives when violent protests erupted on Wednesday morning in parts of Benin City, the Edo State capital, as angry residents, who could not access their monies in commercial banks, took to the streets to register their grievances.

The protesters thereafter attacked some commercial banks located in the area.
