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.

From Challenge through Felele, Molete, Bode, Idi-Arere, Oja-Oba, Beere, Oje, Agodi gate, it was a field day for the hoodlums who formed barricades at almost every 100 metres distance to extort car drivers and motorcyclists by collecting amounts ranging from N50 to N200, according to Nigerian Tribune report.
Using tyres, traffic stands, planks, sticks, sacks of refuse picked from the medians, the youth effected their toll gates for several hours..
