There was pandemonium on the early hours of Saturday in Ibadan as some suspected Oodua Nation agitators attempted to take over the Oyo State House of Assembly located inside the state Secretariat Complex.
According to Optimal Times, the agitators in their large number dressed in military uniform, engaged in fierce gun duel with the local Amotekun, Police and Operation Burst personnel before they were eventually overpowered.
According to an eyewitness account, the alleged agitators had already taken over the assembly complex premises, and hosted their flag before in arrival of backup security personnel.
However, the presence of Nigerian Police, Amotekun, and other security personnel had put the situation under control and several of the suspected agitators have been arrested.
As a result of the incident, all roads leading to the secretariat were deserted and panic was palpable around Customs area and Awolowo Junction and that of Bodija as motorists were seen taking a detour while other passers-by scampered for safety.
