Police parade Yoruba nation agitators, promise to apprehend sponsors

Police in Oyo State are on the trail of sponsors of Yoruba nation agitators who invaded government secretariat in Ibadan on Saturday.House of Assembly complex located inside the secretariat and hoisted their flag there in an attempt to take over the assembly.

Hamzat recalled that a member of Amotekun Corps was injured during the invasion just as one of the agitators who resisted arrest got injured in a gun duel with the police.“On Saturday, at about 8:55 a.m., information was received that some men, dressed in military-like camouflage and armed with pump action semi-automatic rifles were sighted on motorcycles around Olomi and moving into Ibadan.

“With police reinforcement, the miscreants were warned to disperse. The agitators turned violent and opened fire on the police and a detachment of Amotekun Corps present,’’ Hamzat said. Hamzat described the action of the suspects as criminal, unpatriotic and a clear case of treasonable felony and terrorism to be meted with adequate sanctions through purposeful prosecutions.“The labours of our heroes past shall never be in vain. Police in Oyo State will be unrelenting in ensuring the continued united corporate existence of Nigeria as a country,’’ Hamzat stressed.
