Protesters on Monday hit streets in Osogbo capital of Osun State demanding the release of all detained protesters and unfreezing of their accounts by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The protesters converged at the Ogo-Oluwa area and marched to the Osun State House of Assembly along with the State Secretariat, Abere.
The placards read: “We are not fighting for any political party”, “#End Bad Judiciary in Nigeria”, ” #End fake judicial panel of Inquiry in Osun”, “Unfreeze all the frozen account”, ” We are Nigerian youths” among others.
The protesters, among other things, said there was hardship and insisted that there must be good governance in the country.
The last nation-wide protest against police brutality was hijacked by hoodlums, leading to looting and destruction of property worth billions of nairas.
The Police Public Relations Officer for Osun State Police Command, Yemisi Opalola, said the Police authorities were aware of the protest and monitoring the development.
The State Commissioner for Information, Funke Egbemode, appealed to the protesters to take their grievances to the Judicial Panel of Inquiry set up on police brutality by the state governor, Mr Gboyega Oyetola.
