Scores of angry youths in Oyo State, on Monday, stormed the streets of Ibadan, the state capital, to protest the high cost of living, food inflation and the current economic hardship in the country.
The protesting youths chanted solidarity songs to show their grievances with the current situation of things in the country.
The youths carried placards with various inscriptions such as ‘End food hike and inflation’, ‘The poor is starving’ and ‘Tinubu, don’t forget your promises’, amongst others.
Armed policemen were, however, seen at the protest scene as demonstrators peacefully rallied against the economic hardship caused by the removal of petrol subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange windows.
On Sunday, police warned that it would not tolerate any breach of peace during any protest in the state.
Monday’s protest in Ibadan followed similar actions in Kano, Minna, amongst others, over economic hardship occasioned by petrol subsidy removal, inflation of food prices, and high cost of living.
