Some people suspected to be Yoruba nation agitators on Saturday stormed the Oyo State Secretariat in an attempt to take over the House of Assembly Complex.
The House of Assembly is located within the state secretariat and a few meters away from the governor’s office.
It was gathered that the agitators, stormed the secretariat in an attempt to take over the Assembly Complex.
It was reliably learnt that the agitators, who were dressed in military uniform, engaged in fierce gun duel with members of Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN), also known as Amotekun, the Police and Operation Burst personnel before they were eventually overpowered.
Sources said that the suspects had earlier taken over the Assembly complex premises, and hoisted their flag before in arrival of backup security personnel.
The presence of Police, Amotekun, and other security personnel had put the situation under control, while some of the agitators have been arrested.
All roads leading to the secretariat have been deserted as a result of the incident.
The incident is coming few months after some agitators hijacked a radio station in Ibadan.
In May last year, some people suspected to be Yoruba nation agitators hijacked Amuludun 99.1 FM Ibadan.
