All the major entrance gates of the Oyo State Government Secretariat, Agodi-Gate, Ibadan have been shut over a protest by aggrieved youths.
The protest, it was gathered, was in reaction to the alleged killing of a 15- year-old by suspected members of the Oyo State Security Network Agency codenamed Amotekun Corps.
The youths, who arrived the Secretariat gate unannounced, blocked all the linking roads, disrupting human and vehicular movement.
The youths also carried the corpse of the victim on the roof of a tricycle, calling on Governor Seyi Makinde, to fish out the killer Amotekun member.
Efforts by the Governor’s Executive Assistant on Security CP Sunday Odukoya (rtd) to pacify the aggrieved protesters proved abortive.
They insisted on seeing and talking to the Governor alone or no one else.
Heavy security presence was also noticed in the vicinity as reinforcement was immediately called for before the situation goes out of hands.
The combined team of security operatives were also seen standing in clusters in different strategic points.
All the gates leading into the State Secretariat is under lock and key as the protest continues as at the time of filing this report.
Unconfirmed sources said the victim, an apprentice at a private printing press at Mokola, went out on Tuesday night to buy food around Uncle Joe area where he was shot dead.
