Despite the imposition of a 24-hour curfew by the Osun State government, #EndSARS protesters on Wednesday stormed Osogbo, the state capital, to demand an end to police brutality.
The Osun State government had on Tuesday imposed 24 hours curfew in the state to curb the escalation of violence in the state.
