There was no military deployment and no one prevented the protesters as police and other security agencies stayed away from protesters.
The Police Public Relations Office for Osun State Police Command, Yemisi Opalola, warned residents not to buy phones from unauthorized sellers in Osun to avoid buying from phones stolen from Osun Mall after it was vandalised on Saturday.
“Don’t buy any phone from anyone from Osogbo except a verified store either new iPhone Or UK used and Android devices.
“Some hoodlums entered Osun mall and carted phones away from three different stores.
“Don’t be unfortunate. Warm your relatives and loved ones too.”
Residents of Osogbo, the Osun State capital, were apprehensive of breach of peace again as #EndSARS protesters resumed after one day break following the attack on the State Governor, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, by hoodlums that infritrated the protest.
Immediately the protesters converged at the popular Olaiya junction on Monday, shop owners closed their shops for fear of looting, thereby paralysing commercial activities.
The protesters blocked the Olaiya junction and prevented vehicular movement in the area.
This led to serious traffic congestions in many parts of Osogbo as motorists took alternative roads which have no capacity for such huge traffic.
