Following violent protests that rocked Sagamu on Monday over scarcity of the new naira notes, Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun, yesterday, visited Sagamu for on-the-spot assessment of buildings and property affected by the unrest, with a vow to go after those involved in the arson and wanton destruction of public property.

Brigade Commander, 35 Artillery Brigade, Brigadier General Mohammed Aminu ; Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi; Gov. Dapo Abiodun and Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Frank Mbah, during a press briefing after on-the-spot assessment of protest purportedly carried out to protest against scarcity of newly redesigned naira notes in Sagamu… yesterday

“What I have seen here breaks my heart. I am speechless. It was supposed to be a protest, but what I have seen here is that there are sinister objectives. The IBEDC office and the local council secretariat were vandalised with properties worth millions of naira destroyed. At the banks, hoodlums attempted to take away computers and cash.

“As the chief security officer of this state, I consider this a test of not only my will, but the collective will of the law. We are going after any person that either directly or indirectly associates with this hideous crime. We will find them, arrest them and they will face the full wrath of the law and make a good example of them.”
