Following incessant killings of youth in the Ibadan area of Oyo State allegedly by the operatives of the State Security Network, codenamed Amotekun, hundreds of aggrieved youth took to the streets of the state capital on Wednesday, protesting the killings.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that they were protesting the killing of a 14-year-old boy, Peter Okafor, in the early hours of Wednesday around Uncle Joe area of Mokola in Ibadan, allegedly by Amotekun officials.

NAN gathered that the victim, an apprentice with a printing press in Mokola, was shot dead.

A similar incident was recorded in Oke-Ado area of Ibadan on July 21, where two youth were allegedly killed by Amotekun corps, while celebrating the Eid-el Kabir festival.

A witness, who requested not to be named, told NAN that immediately the boy sighted the Amotekun operatives in the early hours of Wednesday, patrolling the area, he started running to escape.

“I don’t know what he did to them to warrant his running, but they shot him in the head and he died instantly,” the witness told NAN.

NAN further reports that immediately the information got to the youth in the area, they mobilised themselves and started making bonfires on the road, thus causing traffic gridlock around Mokola area.

The protesters later moved to the state Secretariat with the corpse of the victim, and prevented both human and vehicular movements around the main gate.

Though Sunday Odukoya, the Executive Assistant on Security to the Governor, made frantic efforts to appease the protesters, they insisted that they must see Governor Seyi Makinde.

When contacted, Adewale Osifeso, the state Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, said he was at the scene of the incident.

“I am at the scene of the incident at the moment now. I will reach out to you as soon as I get to the office, please,” Mr Osifeso told NAN.

Amotekun in Oyo is a fraud, ondo amotekun is the best God bless akeredolu

Amotekun is now officially another branch of the Nigerian police force

it started on a good note but now it has become ugly

The Yorbubas think the Fulani's are their problem. No wonder they quickly created Amotekun, Amotekun is now killing them

Owomida urchins have infiltrated Amotekun, they should be more careful of the kind of havoc they intend to cause on behalf of the drug addict in 2023. RIP to the young boy

Be careful for what you wish for

Father lord have mercy ,things are getting wrong!

Always knew this kinda things would happen. Is it not Nigeria again.

Recently i come to realize something about life that life itself is a form of suffering. The rich suffer because of their riches. the poor suffer because of their poverty. People without family suffer because they have no family. People with family suffer because of their family. People who pursue worldly pleasure suffer because of their worldly pressure. People who who abstain from worldly pressure suffer because of their abstention.
This isn't to say that all suffering is equal. Some suffering is certainly more painful than others suffering but we all must suffer nonetheless.

This Buhari regime is a blood thirsty one God will deliver us from all impending dangers

Thank God this ellicted a response regardless of tribe.

They don't need to carry the corpse with them na.
Which kind country is this

An average Nigerian man can’t handle power. It’s a shame

Just as hisbah was proscribed.

Nigerians are good people, until they get power then they become evil.

How will you shoot someone that is running? What happened to chasing him to know why he was running before shooting a 14 year old boy?

This country! May you not become hell for your citizens.

boko in the making

Nigerian security agencies are something else

If you escape bandits, you'll be struggling to escape from Boko Haram. If you escape them, the police, military, armed robbers and kidnappers, hoodlums, bad governance and now Amotekun

Even the Amotekun that has been celebrated still can't be professional enough
