Nigerian migrants recently returned from Libya on Wednesday protested against the N 1 , 000 transport fare allegedly given to them by the Edo State Government .
Over 900 returnees have been received by the state government at a temporary shelter in Benin since January 8 , 2018 .
Some of the returnees , who were moved to Benin after their arrival in Port Harcourt , Rivers State, were seen grumbling about the amount , which they claimed was too small to take them home .
They lamented that their colleagues who were moved to Benin from Lagos State got over N 40 , 000
The unpleased returnees also threatened to stage a peaceful protest at the Palace of Oba of Benin and the Government House but were dissuaded by some security personnel who intervened .
Speaking to Newsmen Joyce Richard , lamented that the amount was inadequate to take her to her hometown in Orhionmwon Local Government Area . She , therefore , appealed to the state government to increase the allowance.
It was , however , learnt that the development compelled the government to later increase the amount to N 5 , 000 .
