Youths in their hundreds on Tuesday stormed the Oyo state capital, Ibadan, blocking the Ojoo end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway joining their folks in the #EndSARS protests rocking the country.
As early as 8am, youths were seen barricading the expressway, making those travelling to Oyo town and the northern part of the country stranded.
The barricade forced some vehicles to turn back and find alternative routes but not quite long, the protesters started blocking all the exit routes.
The youths also mounted roadblock in front of the police station in Ojoo in the Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The police had to lock their gate and their patrol vehicles which used to be parked by the roadside were all removed and parked on the premises.
Some armed policemen were, however, were at alert inside the police station but there was no incident as of the time of filing this report.
Meanwhile, several junctions were blocked by the protesters on the Ojoo-UI road as the youth continued to chant, ‘EndSARS! No SWAT!’
