Some major roads in Osogbo and Ilesa were on Saturday blocked by protesters, said to be displeased with the decision of the Election Petition Tribunal that sacked Senator Ademola Adeleke as governor.
The protesters, who prevented vehicular movement along Osogbo/Ikirun road, also blocked Gbongan/Osogbo road to traffic and beat up many commercial motorcyclists that were operating in the town.
While many commuters were stranded and had to trek long distances to their destinations, many business places did not open to customers over the fear of attack by the hoodlums. At Igbona Area, the convoy of the State Commissioner of Police, Mr Kehinde Longe, was stopped by some people believed to be members of the transport management committee.
