Hundreds of Ogun indigenes, on Wednesday, took to the street to protest the COVID-19 lockdown in the state, Fidelis Chidi's Blog reports.
It was gathered that the locals had earlier marched to the Government House in Isale Igbein area of Abeokuta, thinking Governor Dapo Abiodun was there to attend to them.
FCH reports that Gov Abiodun has not moved into the official residence since May 29, 2019.
The protesters, it was learnt, later regrouped and moved to the palace of the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, saying they were hungry and tired of the lockdown.
Speaking to them, the Alake urged the people to be calm.
The monarch, who our correspondent learnt has been distributing food items to the poor in Abeokuta, assured the people that he would get more relief packages from donors to cushion the effects of the lockdown.
