The attack of the State Secretariat in Ibadan, the state capital, on Saturday by self-proclaimed Yoruba Nation agitators was deemed a terrorist act by the Oyo State Government on Monday.

When Dotun Oyelade, the state’s commissioner for information, appeared with reporters in Ibadan on Monday, he denounced the conduct and said that there are more constructive forms of agitation than yearning after violence.

The Secretariat in Agodi, Ibadan, was attacked on Saturday morning by a group of masked individuals dressed in military camouflage, who were reportedly Yoruba Nation agitators.

The masked guys were strategically placed throughout the area, according to eyewitnesses who spoke with newsmen.

The investigation found that the circumstance caused alarm among the locals and other drivers on the routes.

Businesses and locals in the vicinity of Bodija, Ikolaba, and Awolowo reportedly promptly locked their doors, and those who were set to open for business that day withdrew.

The Commissioner added that the sponsors of the invasion have landed themselves in big trouble.

He said, “Sponsors of the invasion of the Governor and State House of Assembly’s office have succeeded in landing themselves in serious trouble.

“Attempting to barge into the hallowed chambers of the legislature and take it over with an arsenal of seven pump action submachine guns and over 700 live cartridges, is an act of terrorism.

“‘The conduct of Prof Banji Akintoye, a well-known Yoruba nation agitator represents the quintessential wisdom and civilisation of the Yoruba race.

“Oyo state remains the most peaceful state in Nigeria and Saturday’s incident will not take away that popular belief.”

Since then, Ibadan, the state capital, has returned to normal, with people going about their daily lives as usual.
