A group of masked individuals in army camouflage believed to be agitators for the Yoruba Nation movement have reportedly entered the Oyo Government Secretariat, leading to a tense situation.
According to The Nation Newspaper, armed men were strategically positioned within the Secretariat, causing alarm in the vicinity. Despite efforts by security personnel on site, the situation remained unresolved.
The identity of these masked individuals remains unknown at this time.
Law enforcement agencies, including the Police Command and other anti-crime units, swiftly responded to the scene with patrol vehicles. Additionally, members of the Oyo security network known as Amotekun were deployed to secure various entrances within the Secretariat premises.
Reports indicate that a confrontation ensued between the security forces and the alleged agitators, resulting in gunfire exchanges and the use of tear gas. This development has created fear among residents in the area.
