PHOTOS: Gridlock In Oyo As Protests Erupt Over Escalating Insecurity

There is gridlock at the popular Iwo Road area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, as protesters have barricaded the major route on Monday.

The protesters converged in the area around 10 am, led by a human rights group, Take It Back Movement.

The protesters are demanding an end to insecurity in the country and calling for the release of the abducted 39 school children and teachers in Oyo State.
