There is palpabe tension in Osogbo, capital of Osun state as some angry youths, suspected to be ‘Yahoo Boys’ stormed the streets to protest the alleged harassment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Offence Commission (EFCC).
The New Diplomat gathered that the youths blocked some major roads in Osogbo.
It all began when EFCC operatives raided the house of the suspected fraudsters in the early hours of Tuesday. It was gathered that the EFCC stormed Adetunji Estate, located along the Ringroad area of Osogbo, and arrested some suspected fraudsters numbering up to 20.
The suspected fraudsters were said to have resisted the arrest and called out for help, which caught the attention of some other youths in the environs.
It was also gathered the EFCC operatives were waylaid on their way out after arresting some suspects and seized about 20 exotic cars, however, they were able to foil the attempt as they escaped from being mobbed.
This has now in turn generated into a protest as the angry youths have blocked the Dele Yes Sir Roundabout road to the Lameco Junction, with other youths protesting in other parts of the city.
