Youths from various parts of Oyo State have stormed the state secretariat at Agodi to register their displeasure against incessant killings by criminal herdsmen in Ibarapaland, Oke-Ogun, and other parts of the state.

The youth also protested against the arrest and remand of three members of the Odua People’s Congress in prison.

They were later charged with murder and arson and remanded in prison.

The protesters, who were mainly from Ibarapaland, stormed the secretariat, where the Governor’s Office is located, around 10.40am.

They displayed placards with various inscriptions denouncing killings, kidnappings, rape and destruction of farms and other atrocities.
