The presence of these individuals caused panic in the area, despite efforts by security operatives to manage the situation. As of the time of this report, the identity of the masked individuals remains unknown. Police and other law enforcement agencies have responded to the scene with multiple patrol vans.

Operatives of the Oyo security network codenamed Amotekun were said to have also arrived the gate.

The situation, it was gathered, almost turned chaotic as the security operatives engaged in a gun duel with the agitators.

Tear gas were also said to have been fired with the situation sending panic to residents around the axis.

It was gathered efforts of the Executive Assistant to the Governor on Security, CP Sunday Odukoya (retired) to calm the situation were futile as the masked gunmen insisted on hoisting their flag in the Secretariat.

But the arrival of military officers from the 2nd Division of the Army about an hour later was said to have changed the narrative with some of the agitators at the entrance gate taking to their heels.

The stern-looking officers were said to have gone after the masked agitators.
