Governor Fayose arriving the scene
"Reports say some restive youths at Iju, Ondo State barricaded a major road after a policeman allegedly shot and killed an Okada rider.
As expected, the governor’s motorcade and other motorists were prevented from plying the route close to Iju/Itaogbolu police station where the rampaging youths had blocked the road with bonfire.
Fayose talking the angry youths
Seeing the commotion caused, the Governor came down from his car, walked up to the angry youths while being surrounded by his security aides.
When he got to them, Fayose thanked the youths for the respect accorded him revealing that he plies the road regularly and couldn’t have run away from them today because there was an issue.
He promised to get in touch with Ekiti State Police Commissioner who in turn will get in touch with Ondo CP and make sure the trigger happy policeman is dealt with according to the law.
The Governor later told them he’ll drop some “little cash” for “morning bread” to the admiration of the now calm youths who quickly looked for water from the deserted police station to quench the bonfire.
The barricades too were removed as the governor supervised for some minutes the free flow of traffic before finally taking his leave."
