Oyo State Government on Wednesday pulled down a building which a group of Yoruba Nation agitators led by Modupe Onitiri-Abiola used in Ibadan, the capital.

The building was located on Toye Oyesola Street in Ibadan South West Local Government Area.

Onitiri-Abiola said she was one of the wives of the late politician Moshood Abiola.

Last Saturday, the agitators invaded the state secretariat in Agodi, Ibadan and attempted to take over the government. They were however repelled by security forces.

Special adviser to the governor on security matters Fatai Owoseni confirmed the demolition to PUNCH and asked the newspaper to get details from the commissioner of police.

Earlier in the day, the police arraigned 29 Yoruba Nation agitators before the Chief Magistrates Court in Ibadan for their involvement and roles in the failed invasion of the governor’s office and the House of Assembly.

They were arraigned on seven counts of treasonable felony, unlawful society, illegal possession of firearms, and conduct likely to cause breach of peace.
