Oyetola further added that all hands are on deck as the investigation has promptly commenced on the incident that has plunged the state into pandemonium.

"The death of the young man that was reportedly chased to death by some security operatives in Osogbo today, is very unfortunate & devastating. I sympathise with the family & loved ones of the deceased.

"I urge our people, especially the youths to remain calm & not take laws into their own hands.

"I assure that a proper & transparent investigation will be conducted to unravel the circumstances surrounding the sad incident & ensure that those responsible for the death of the promising young man are brought to book," Oyetola said.

In what made the EndSARS trend online again, Osogbo, Osun state capital, was thrown into an uproar on Tuesday, September 15, as youth protested the death of a young man suspected to be Yahoo boy.

It is said that the suspect died when security operatives chased a car in which he and three others were riding until the vehicle veered off the road and hit an electric pole.

The protesters have since dumped the body in front of the state government house in Oke-Fia, Osogbo.
