Just as business activities were brought to a halt, some hoodlums in Ibadan exploited the ongoing #EndSARS protests, on Monday, forming “toll gates” across streets and major roads where motorists had an option to part with some money to continue their movement or turn back.
In Apata, Odo Ona, Orita Challenge, Akala Way, 110, Lam Adeshina Way, New Garage among other major areas of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, were totally shut down by the protesters.
Traffics in the areas were congested as workers who were on their ways to work suffered untold hardship as the protesters insisted that no one would go to work.
