Angry youths have reportedly set fire to a police station in Ifon, the headquarters of Ose Local Government Area in Ondo State, following the alleged death of a boy in police custody due to suspected torture.
Sources indicate that the attack occurred after news of the victim’s death spread, while his friend remained in a coma at a hospital.
Additionally, another building in the area was also reportedly set ablaze amid the unrest.
In response to the escalating situation, Ondo State Police Commissioner Wilfred Afolabi has left Akure for Ifon to restore order and prevent further violence.
