Hoodlums, on Friday, razed shuttle buses used for transporting school students in the Okitipupa area of Ondo state.

Despite the 24-hour curfew imposed on the state by Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor, some protesters still carried out demonstrations in some parts of the state.

The free shuttle buses, provided by the government, were said to have been packed within the premises of the Okitipupa local government secretariat.

Security operatives have been deployed to the area to restore normalcy.
