No fewer than three persons have been feared dead by gunshots allegedly fired by men of the ‘Operation Burst’ in the ancient town of Oyo in Oyo State on Sunday following a protest against failure by m

en of the state Fire Service to quell the fire that ravaged Akesan Market.

The fire, which reportedly started around 12.30 am, destroyed wares worth several millions of naira as attempts to rescue the goods had failed.The Fire Station in Oyo is only a few meters to the market. The mob reportedly set the fire truck and other property at the Fire station on fire during the protest.

A trader in the market, Tunde Rufai, said, “The fire emanated from electricity spark. The people went violent because the firemen said their vehicle was faulty. Men of the Operation Burst were firing shots to scare protesters away when some people were hit by stray bullet. I was lucky to rescue my wares from the shop because my shop is not in the centre of the market.

This is one of them.

Nigerian security, God forbid, so no other way of repelling protesters apart from killings. Too bad

Is this 🔥 fire incidents new strategy by Boko Haram/Herdsmen to distabilize the south? We should start asking serious questions. These are not more coinicidents.

Why are we like? Australia is facing huge inferno in their history. No protest.. We need to understand this is harmattan season ( dry season) let's not politize this please.

Who take live round to protesters? Nigeria... smh 😔

Oh la la

The same shameful reasons every time, “There’s no water in the fire truck “. Please spare the country this embarrassment

Ile oba tojo?

Destruction of government facilities is not d solution, that’s lawlessness, may d Lord comfort them!

NA wao

Chai this new year God help us
