In what looked like an angry protest over the scarcity of fuel and low circulation of money caused by the Federal Government, people have taken to the streets as different protests rock Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State. The angry mob who marched in their numbers towards the Oyo state Secretariat and forced their way into the premises as security personnel who appeared to have been caught unaware at the entrance scampered for safety.
Consequently, one police officer who is a detail at the Oyo state Governor’s Office by the name, Inspector Dynasty Layemo, was injured by the mob who attempted to gain access into the Governor’s Office.
The police officer has since been taken to an undisclosed hospital for immediate medical attention.
Some of the angry youths were heard shouting out of frustration in the Yoruba language, “lori owo wa” which translates despite being our money. “Aye APC ma baje ni” God will punish APC.
The shocking incident left many civil servants inside the government Secretariat in panic mood as many were seen hanging around different spots in case of unforseen eventuality.
There were burning of tyres in front of the state Secretariat by the angry mob to register their anger.
The Executive Assistant on security to Governor Seyi Makinde, CP Sunday Odukoya (rtd), who spoke to journalists condemned the act saying the situation in the country affects everybody equally and should not be reason why anybody should hide under such to destroy or vandalize Government properties.
However, security personnel comprising Operation Burst, NSCDC, and Amotekun have arrested the situation as the mob were dispersed and normalcy restored within the state Secretariat.
