Several individuals wearing masks reportedly forced their way into the Oyo State Government Secretariat today.
VOP News gathered that the armed individuals believed to be Yoruba Nation Agitators were strategically positioned at various locations within the Secretariat premises.
Some were reportedly stationed at the Governor’s office gate, while others were observed at the House of Assembly Gate and the main entrance.
The presence of these masked men caused fear and anxiety in the area, with security personnel attempting to address the situation without success.
The true identities of these masked individuals remain unknown at this time.
However, law enforcement officers, including the Police Command and other anti-crime agencies, swiftly responded by deploying multiple patrol vehicles to the Secretariat entrance.
Additionally, members of the Oyo security network known as Amotekun were also reported to have arrived at the scene.
Despite the efforts of the Executive Assistant to the Governor on Security, CP Sunday Odukoya to calm the situation, the masked gunmen persisted in their attempt to raise their flag at the Secretariat.
However, the arrival of military officers from the 2nd Division of the Army approximately an hour later reportedly changed the course of events, causing some of the protesters at the entrance gate to flee.
Two individuals believed to be supporters of the Yoruba Nation movement have been apprehended by security personnel for their alleged involvement in the incursion of the Oyo Government Secretariat this morning.
Subsequent reports revealed that security operatives were able to capture two individuals.
