Relative peace has partially returned to Ibadan, Oyo State's capital, on the second day of the nationwide protests. Unlike other cities where unrest has escalated, Ibadan has seen a return to some normalcy, with businesses, markets, and transportation services resuming operations.
Protesters in Ibadan have maintained a peaceful approach, marching through major streets without disrupting daily activities. They continue to rally for good governance, economic development, and an end to corruption while avoiding any violent confrontations.
The increased presence of police and security agencies has helped ensure the protests remain orderly. Residents, initially cautious, are gradually resuming their normal routines, encouraged by the peaceful nature of the demonstrations.
This calm in Ibadan stands in contrast to the violence reported in other cities, and local stakeholders hope the government will respond to the protesters' demands for significant reforms.
