Following the nationwide hardship, some angry youths in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, have taken to the streets to protest the high cost of living, food inflation and the current economic situation in the country.
According to reports, the youths are protesting with placards with inscriptions such as ‘End food hike and inflation’, ‘The poor is starving’ and ‘Tinubu, don’t forget your promises’, amongst others, while chanting songs to show their grievances.
However, armed police officers were seen at the protest scene as demonstrators held the peaceful rally against the economic hardship occasioned by the removal of petrol subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange windows.
It would be recalled that the police had on Sunday warned against breach of peace during any protest in the state.
The protest in Ibadan is coming after protests in Kano, Minna, amongst others, over economic hardship occasioned by petrol subsidy removal, inflation of food prices, and high cost of living.
