Traders in Tears as Oyo Demolishes Ibadan Mobil Market Over Kidnap Hideout Claim
Oyo State authorities on June 15 ordered the demolition of the Mobil Market on Ring Road, Ibadan, claiming it had become a hideout for kidnappers. This follows last week’s razing of a bungalow in Lako Community, which officials say sheltered abductors of a former minister’s sister and her twin boys. The state reiterated its zero-tolerance policy against insecurity and urged residents to report suspicious activity. The latest action comes amid a surge in bandit attacks that left dozens of schoolchildren and teachers kidnapped. One teacher was killed in captivity, and others remain held hostage.
