The two-Road axis of Ibadan, Oyo State capital, was on Friday boiled again, as some youths took to the major road to protest the continued naira/fuel scarcity in the state.

An unspecified number of casualties were already recorded, as the police said they were bringing the situation under control.

Witnesses claimed that scarcity of the new naira notes and its attendant economic hardship was the major cause of the riot.

Efforts to get the state’s Police Public Relations Offer, SP Adewale Osifeso to react to the reported two injured policemen, proved abortive, as he did not respond to several calls placed across to him.
