Panic on Osogbo-Ilesa expressway as youths protest alleged EFCC harassment

Irate youths have blocked the Oke Omiru end of the Osogbo-Ilesa Expressway as they protest against the alleged harassment of residents by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The youths stormed the area in the early hours of Tuesday, 9th February and expressed their displeasure over the operations of the anti-graft agency.

IDOMA VOICE gathered that the protesters also prevented vehicular movement on the road with bonfires.

It was gathered that the protest was orchestrated by some suspected fraudsters who were raided by EFCC on Monday night.

Daniel Adigun, spokesperson of Osun Command of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) confirmed the incident.

He said, “From reports made available to us, EFCC raided some suspected internet fraudsters in the area last night and the protest, we are told, is organised by some of them.”
