The protest over naira scarcity in Ogun state took a different dimension on Monday as violent protesters invaded Sagamu Local Government secretariat carting away the mace of the council’s legislative house.
Two banks were also burnt down during the protest.
The protesters after burning down the banks later advanced to the council secretariat, invaded offices and made away with the mace.
They shattered windows and broke doors at the secretariat.
The council chairman, Afolabi Odulate who confirmed theft of the mace said;
“Yes, they did invade the secretariat. No one was attacked. We had moved workers away before they arrived here.
“They stole the mace. Yes, they did.”
Odulate said normalcy had returned as police and soldiers had taken over the community.
