Angry youths have allegedly set fire to a police division in Ifon, the headquarters of Ose Local Government Area in Ondo State, following the reported death of a boy in police custody due to alleged torture.
According to sources, the protesters carried out the act after learning of the victim’s death, while his friend remained in a coma at a hospital.
It was further gathered that another building in the area was also reportedly set ablaze during the unrest.
In response to the escalating tension, Ondo State Police Commissioner Wilfred Afolabi has departed Akure for Ifon to restore order and prevent further violence in the area.
