In eras gone by in Latin America, peasant farmers protested against landlords who deprived them of arable farmlands and estates, in cahoots with the state.

This prompted farmers sympathetic to those jailed to embark on a protest in Ibadan and thereafter they stormed the prison to free their colleagues.
