Fear rented the air in the early hours of Tuesday in some areas in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, as some youths suspected to be internet fraudsters, (Yahoo boys) resisted arrest by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
AMILOADED gathered the EFCC operatives sneaked into the state capital to arrest suspected fraudsters but were waylaid on their way out after arresting some suspects and seized about 20 exotic cars.
The operatives, it was gathered, had to run for safety to avoid being mobbed by the angry youths, who set bonfire at Lameco junction in the state capital.
Confirming the incident, Osun police Command spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, said the Police have been trying to control the situation from further escalation.
“We are aware of the situation, we are now trying to appease the protesters and clear the bonfire so that people can go about their lawful duties without fear of harassment”, she said.
