Some suspected internet fraudsters known as ‘yahoo, yahoo boys’ blocked some roads in Osogbo, Osun State capital on Tuesday, in protest of an alleged midnight raid by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The protesters, who forced many motorists passing through Osogbo/Ilobu Road to take alternative routes, had set up bonfires at Lameco Junction.
According to The Punch, the suspected ‘yahoo boys’ also blocked Osogbo/Iwo Road around the Rasco Hotel area.
The Punch reported that residents of Omobolanle, Lameco, and Oroki Estate Area said they heard indiscriminate gunshots in the early hours, but could not say those behind the shooting.
The spokesperson for Osun State Police Command, Yemisi Opalola, said, “The command has been on the matter since we received the report around midnight.”
She, however, said that the operatives were making efforts to clear the road.
