Police authorities in Oyo State in conjunction with other security agencies have arrested 20 suspects over the invasion of the state government premises in Agodi, Ibadan, on Saturday.

Police authorities said the invaders are suspected members of the Yoruba Nation group and declared the attack as criminal and unpatriotic, a clear case of treasonable felony and terrorism which would be met with adequate sanctions under the laws of the land.

According to the spokesperson for the Oyo State police command, ADEWALE OSIFESO, investigations have been launched into the matter. 

The invaders who arrived at the place in buses had attempted to enter the Governor’s Office during the siege, but the gallantry of security operatives frustrated that plot.

They wore masks and scarves and hoisted a flag – that of the Yoruba Nation group – in the area during the early morning attack.

But normalcy has since been restored to the secretariat and Ibadan.

In a swift reaction, prominent Yoruba nation activist, SUNDAY ADEYEMO also known as IGBOHO, and leader of the Yoruba Self Determination group, Professor BANJI AKINTOYE, distanced themselves from the actions of the invaders and their group.

They said they were neither aware nor backed the individuals behind the action.
