A lone protester was on Thursday beaten to a pulp by hoodlums in Akure, Ondo State.
He was attacked at the popular NEPA roundabout when he was trying to lure some people to join him in the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest.
DAILY POST reports that residents of the state shunned the protest, with security personnel manning each of the junctions in Akure metropolis to forestall a breakdown of law and order.
According to a source, the protester, who arrived at the junction, packed his car without knowing that some commercial motorcyclists had resolved to deal with anyone trying to disrupt their business.
The source stated that, “the young man who arrived in his car parked at the roundabout.
“After waiting for some minutes, he increased the music playing in his car, and thereafter, he came down and placed a placard on his windscreen.
“One of the Okada riders moved towards the car to read what was written on the placard.
“After reading what was on it, he signalled the rest of his people, who descended on the guy.
“When he was asked some questions, they pounced on him.
“They really beat the guy, but he was fortunate to quickly get into his car and zoomed off.”
