Protesters in their hundreds stormed Agodi Secretariat in Ibadan with the corpse of a teenager allegedly killed by the Amotekun Corps in Oyo State.

The youths are demanding justice over the gruesome murder of the boy.

The corpse was conveyed to the front of the state Secretariat with a tricycle popularly called Keke Napep, while the protesters were chanting different songs.

One of the protesters who spoke off-camera alleged the deceased teenage boy was shot by men of the Amotekun around 12:58 am on his way to buy food.

The deceased was an apprentice of one of the printing press companies in the Mokola area, who used to work till daybreak.

In a swift reaction, the Commander of the Oyo State Amotekun Corps, RTD Col. Olayinka Adeyanju, said Amotekun has nothing to do with the killing of the teenager.

The Commander further said he will not spear any of his men if found wanting.

However, normalcy has returned to the affected area.
