Youths and other residents of Oyo State protesting hardship in the country attacked the governor’s office in Agodi area of Ibadan.

The PUNCH earlier reports that barely 22 days before the general elections, youths in their numbers stormed the streets of Ibadan, on Friday, to protest the current state of the nation.

Nigerians have been contending with fuel, new naira notes scarcity and erratic power supply for weeks across the nation.

Dissatisfied with the situation, the youths, armed with several placards, stormed the Iwo Road area of the state on Friday morning to register their grievances.
