Fatal Protest Erupts at Sumal Foods in Ibadan; 12 Arrests Made
The Oyo Police Command has confirmed the death of one person and the arrest of twelve suspected troublemakers during a protest at Sumal Foods factories in Oluyole, Ibadan. According to spokesperson Adewale Osifeso, the protest was incited by false rumors about the company withholding palliatives meant for workers of various private firms.
Osifeso stated, “The violent protest, which occurred on Tuesday at Sumal Foods, was triggered by misleading information spread by some workers alleging unfair distribution of welfare packages.” He lamented that the protest was taken over by criminals who vandalized property, resulting in significant damage. Osifeso assured that peace has been restored in the area following increased police presence and the arrest of the suspects involved.
Commissioner of Police Ayodele Sonubi has directed the Homicide Department of the State Criminal Investigation Department to investigate the incident thoroughly under the supervision of the Deputy Commissioner of Police.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
