A police station in Ifon, the headquarters of Ose Local Government Area in Ondo State, has reportedly been set ablaze by enraged youths. The incident followed allegations that a young boy died in police custody after being subjected to torture.
Sources say the protesters took to the streets after learning about the boy’s death, while his friend, who was also detained, is currently hospitalized in critical condition.
Amid the chaos, another building in the area was also allegedly set on fire.
To contain the situation and restore normalcy, Ondo State Police Commissioner Wilfred Afolabi has traveled from Akure to Ifon.
