By Richard Akintade, Osogbo

Pandemonium broke this morning in Osogbo the capital of Osun State, due to invasion of warehouses belonging to the state government and property owned by notable politicians by the hungry and angry youths.

Finding by our Correspondent revealed that, Hon Lasun Yusuf, the immediate past Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives fell a victim as his new multi-million naira Five-Star Hotel played host to the angry mob.

It was learnt that several new Bajaj motorcycles, plasma televisions, refrigerators and food items were carted away from the the hotel.

The story is also the same for Tuns Farm whose owner, Chief Tunde Badmus, was the Chairman of Osun State Palliatives Committee as his farm also played unwilling host to the rampaging youths who were generous to leave only the farm building behind while all other things were carted away.

Youths were reportedly heading for Ogo Oluwa when a military vehicle going on a separate mission elsewhere ran into them.

The soldiers had to shoot their ways into the air before they could pass through.

Also, the Olorunda local government secretariat at Igbona, State Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Omoluabi garment house at Abere among others were not left out as property worth million of Naira were vandalised by the hoodlums.

As at the time of filling this report, Ikirun, Ifelodun local government area of the state youths were also reportedly warming up for action as crowds are currently increasing at the popular Alamisi junction.

Efforts to speak with government representatives on the development proved abortive as their phones was unavailable.
