Two persons have been reportedly killed and several others injured in an attack on Ojoo police station in Ibadan
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Gbenga Fadeyi confirmed the incident noting that some disgruntled elements attacked the police station disguising themselves as part of the protesters.
The #EndSARS protest has entered its third week with Nigerian youths calling for an end to police brutality, extra-judicial killings, increase in salaries for the police among other demands.
On Tuesday the protesters blocked major roads linking the state secretariat to other parts of town preventing vehicular movement in that axis.
The protest at the Agodi end of the state was said to be peaceful except at the Ojoo end of the Lagos/ Ibadan where there was a face-off between security operatives and the protesters.
Meanwhile, students have been sent home as public schools within the city have been closed.
