Angry Youths burn Police Station in Ondo (14639 Views)

Nemere2020: 5:09pm On Feb 16

Irate youths have reportedly burnt down a Police Division in Ifon, Ose Local Government Area of Ondo State.

This is as a result of the death of a young man, who was allegedly tortured to death in police custody.

Although the tragic incident occurred on Saturday evening, full details were still sketchy as of Sunday when this report was filed.

Daily Trust learnt from sources in Ifon, a community sharing border town with Edo State, that the death of the boy triggered protest among residents and friends of the deceased.

One of the sources who spoke in confidence told our reporter on Sunday that the incident stemmed from a crisis that occurred on Valentine’s Day.

He said the protesters mobilised to the police station after learning about the victim’s death.

He explained that the police were overpowered by the protestors who stormed the station, heavily charged.

When ed, Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, Police Public Relations Officer in the state, confirmed the incident, saying more policemen have been drafted to the town.

She added that the Commissioner of Police, Wilfred Afolabi, was already on his way to Ifon to restore peace and prevent any further violence in the area.

These police act so uncivilized most of the times, this is why I hardly sympathize or have empathy for them when they die or suffer any harm

Some people are willing to fuel Endsars 3.0. When the police said they can start checking insurance of drivers, I said it will only be a matter of time before the people react. This news is about the youth reacting to high handedness of police.

This is as a result of the death of a young man, who was allegedly tortured to death in police custody.

Maybe those arsonists were hired from Nigerians that live abroad as Pa Akande said Endsars protesters were hired from abroad.

.the said part is they will tell you they are on top of the situation and investigating the matter. And after that you will never hear from the matter again.
