Sunday Dare you have failed the youths of Ogbomosho. And we won’t forget.— Premier (@SodiqTade) October 11, 2020
You are the Mins. of Sports and Youth yet you are afraid of the youths. You fear them so much you had to kill some to show you are something.

Tension has since risen in Ogbomosho since a bystander was shot and killed in Ogbomoso on Saturday by the policemen dispersing #EndSARS protesters.
It was unclear if Jimoh Isiaka was among the young Nigerians protesting against police brutality before he was shot. He was rushed to Bowen University Teaching Hospital where he died while receiving treatment.
But pictures shared on Twitter showed him standing by the roadside, many metres away from the policemen. He was unarmed.
His bloodied corpse has since been buried.
