Protest rocks Ibadan over high cost of living
Angry youths in Oyo State are protesting the high cost of living, food inflation and the current economic hardship in the country.
Placard-carrying youths were seen in the protest holding in the Mokola area of Ibadan, the state capital, on Monday.
Some of the placards have inscriptions such as ‘End food hike and inflation’, ‘The poor are starving’ and ‘Tinubu, don’t forget your promises’, amongst others.
Armed policemen were also at the protest scene as demonstrators held the peaceful rally against the economic hardship in the land occasioned by the removal of petrol subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange windows.
The police on Sunday warned that no breach of peace would be allowed during any protest in the state.
The protest in Ibadan followed others in Kano, Minna, amongst others.
