“As a matter of fact, the police authorities in Oyo State quickly intervened and the situation was immediately brought under control, and normalcy returned as expected.”

The statement added that “however, the Commissioner of Police in Oyo State has authorised an investigation into the matter to ensure that those who erred are reprimanded accordingly.”

Reports were rife on Thursday that business activities were disrupted in Ibadan as students and traders took to the streets to protest the alleged shooting of a corps member in Oluyole Local Government Area by a police officer.

The incident, which came barely two weeks after a similar incident at the Apata area in Ido Local Government Area, threw the entire neighbourhood into pandemonium.
