Following the protest over scarcity of fuel and new naira notes in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Friday, the state police command has warned youths to avoid being used by agents of violence.
A statement by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, said the command was fully prepared to mobilize fully to prevent the criminal elements from turning the state into their playground.
He said available intelligence revealed that certain unscrupulous elements have perfected plans to hijack the current situation by attacking places of interest which includes but not limited to INEC facilities, banks, media houses, schools, correctional centres and other critical infrastructures inclusive of looting major malls and business centers within the state.
The command, therefore, advised the people to go about their businesses without any fear of harassment or molestation as the relative tranquility within cannot be negotiated with unscrupulous and criminal elements.
