A correctional centre truck reportedly conveying prison inmates to the State High Court in Osun State was involved in an accident on Thursday.
The incident has caused palpable tension in Osogbo, the state capital, as the truck reportedly rammed into a commercial minibus, injuring two persons.
Commercial motorcyclists and some angry youths in the area are said to have staged protests due to the occurrence, blocking the popular Olaiya Junction in protest.
An eyewitness revealed that the correctional truck driver refused to obey a traffic light that had signalled him to stop and, in the process, hit a minibus, leaving the driver and one of the passengers injured.
When this report was filed, police drafted to the scene had dispersed the protesters with teargas.
