#EndSARS Protesters on the roads again
Business activities in Osogbo, Osun State capital has remained paralyzed on Thursday, as the curfew imposed by the state government enters day two, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
NAN reports that banks, government offices, markets and stores remained closed as civil servants and business owners stayed at home in compliance with the curfew.
Commercial motorcyclists were, however, seen operating freely without any police or security officials stopping them.
EndSARS protesters were also seen on the streets blocking the popular Olaiya Junction, Osogbo and the adjoining roads with tyres, bricks and other items at their disposal.
The atmosphere, however, remained relatively peaceful, with some residents seen going about on foot without harassment from the protesters.
On Tuesday, hoodlums were seeing freely on Osogbo-Ogbomoso road, blocking parts of the road at Okinni junction before they later moved to the one lane Ojutu bridge where they were extorting motorists plying the route.
Our Correspondents gather that business activities are ongoing in other parts of the state apart from Osogbo, at the compliance with curfew was very low in Ila, Ede, Ifon-Orolu, Ilesha and Ikirun.
InsightMedia has reported that Osun State Government on Tuesday imposed 24-hour curfew across the state to forestall breakdown of law and order.
The state government imposed the curfew due to the unfortunate and dangerous dimension the EndSARS protests had assumed across the country, as the protest had been hijacked by criminals and hoodlums.
Governor Gboyega Oyetola was last Saturday attacked by hoodlums while addressing the protesters in Osogbo.
