Scores of protesters on Wednesday stormed the Oyo State Secretariat protesting the death of a 15-year-old boy named Peter.
Peter was allegedly shot and killed by operatives of Amotekun in the early hours of Wednesday.
Conveying the corpse of the victim on the roof of a tricycle, the protesters insisted on seeing Governor Seyi Makinde.
Protesters alleged that Peter, an apprentice working with a printing press around uncle Joe area, Mokola, was on his way to purchase food at about 2 am when he was shot dead.
Protesters had set bonfires on their way to the Secretariat, and had also protested at the Amotekun office in Dandaru area, leading to a commotion in areas from Mokola to the state Secretariat, Ibadan.
The gates leading into the state secretariat were hurriedly shut to bar the protesters who charged forward with intent to take the corpse into the Secretariat.
Human and vehicular movement into the State Secretariat was disrupted for many hours with workers and commuters seeking alternative routes.
Several teams of policemen were subsequently drafted to the state secretariat to calm the situation and they were stationed at the entrance to the Secretariat for several hours, to allow resumption of entry of people and vehicles.
Afterwards, a police vehicle conveyed the corpse to the morgue at Adeoyo hospital, Ibadan.
