Osogbo Sees Gradual Resumption of Business Amid Peaceful Protests
As the nationwide protest entered its second day on Friday, security measures remained heightened, with commercial banks still closed and guarded by security personnel. Business activities in Osogbo began to resume, with markets like Akindeko Market, MDS Shopping Complex, and Orisunmibare Market reopening after being shut down on Thursday. A foodstuff seller at Orisunmibare Market, Alhaja Fausat Akanbi, noted that shop owners had closed their stores the previous day out of caution, recalling the looting that occurred during the EndSARS protest in 2020. However, she expressed relief that the protest remained orderly and peaceful.
Commercial driver Kamoru Hakeem praised the peaceful nature of the protest, highlighting that the absence of violence and hoodlums contributed to a positive experience. Protesters regrouped on Friday at the Freedom Park in Osogbo and marched toward Olaiya Junction. Coordinators Ajala Adetunji of the Coalition of Concern Nigeria Citizens and Waheed Lawal, Chairman of the Osun People’s Coalition Society, urged protesters to maintain peace and avoid violence, warning that any offenders would be dealt with by security forces.
