VIDEO: Immigration officers allegedly slap Council chairman in Oyo

There were sporadic gunshots at the Agodi-Gate area of Ibadan, Oyo State capital on Wednesday after some immigration officers allegedly harassed a local government chairman and some of his aides.

It was learnt that the immigration officers allegedly slapped Mr Shuaib Yusuf Oladayo, Chairman of Ibadan Ibadan North Local government area, Wednesday afternoon.

The headquarters of Oyo State command of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) is close to the Ibadan North local government Secretariat.

It was gathered that trouble started when some youths who were protesting against the killing of a teenager in Ibadan stormed the area.

Newsflash Nigeria had earlier reported that the youths blocked major streets in Ibadan on Wednesday.

They blocked Mokola Road, parliament Road and Secretariat Road for some hours.
