FRSC, VIO Offices Set On Fire At Ojodu, Lagos
Please this is an eyewitness account. Properties looted.
If you zoom the attached pix you will see someone carrying a bag on his head. The load is from the VIO office. My attention was drawn to him when I overheard him say that 'The load is from his tax money. Aside this guy, I also saw another guy with plasma TV looted from the same office.
Why did government fall into this mess? Govt should know that there's anger in the land. The right thing to do is to keep talking and begging the youth.
We are angry! The government over the years have spite on God's face by the way they are handling the affairs of this nation.
Only wisdom will solve this problem.

Watch The Moment Below.
THE UNITED NATIONS (UN) HAS CONDEMNED THE ATTACK ON #endsars PROTESTERS BY SECURITY OPERATIVES AT THE LEKKI TOLL GATE IN LAGOS STATE.
António Guterres, UN secretary-general, in a statement by Stephane Dujarric, his spokesman, asked the federal government to probe the incident and bring the perpetrators to book.
Some protesters were reportedly killed and several others injured on Tuesday night after security operatives opened fire on protesters agitating against police brutality.
Guterres noted that the UN is abreast the situation while calling on the government to bring the unrest to a stop.
“The Secretary-General is following recent developments in Nigeria and calls for an end to reported police brutality and abuses. He condemns the violent escalation on 20 October in Lagos which resulted in multiple deaths and caused many injuries. He expresses his condolences to the bereaved families and wishes a speedy recovery to those injured,” the statement on the UN website read.
“He calls on the Nigerian authorities to investigate these incidents and hold the perpetrators accountable.
‘The Secretary-General urges the security forces to act at all times with maximum restraint while calling on protestors to demonstrate peacefully and to refrain from violence.
“The Secretary-General encourages the authorities to swiftly explore avenues to de-escalate the situation. He reiterates the readiness of the United Nations to support national efforts towards finding a solution.”
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of the state, had earlier claimed that there were no casualties in the attack.
He, however, later confirmed the death of one person at Reddington Hospital.
The governor also denied any involvement of the state in the incident, blaming it on “forces beyond his direct control”.
The United Kingdom parliament has also said it will consider a petition asking the country to sanction the federal government for human rights abuses over the #endsars campaign.
As of Wednesday morning, the petition has garnered over 133,000 signatures — less than 24 hours after it was created.

Soldiers Calm ENDSARS Protesters As They Defy Osun Government Curfew
Soldiers calm the air as ENDSARS protesters defy govt curfew in Osun
Despite the directive of the Osun state government imposing a 24-hour curfew, the ENDSARS protesters in Osogbo have defied the order as they storm 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.
However, the protestants in defiance of the order besieged and mounted barricades at Olaiya junction, Osogbo.
In response to the defied curfew, scores of soldiers stormed the convergence spot of the EndSARS protesters.
Our correspondent who was present at the scene reports that the military troop arrived the EndSARS protest Ground in numbers in about seven military vans around 11:10 am on Wednesday.
The soldiers displayed a high level of civility and professionalism while addressing the protestants.
The soldiers who were fully armed reacted to the agitations and complaints lodged by protesting youths against alleged brutality, extortion and extra-judicial killings by operatives of Special Anti-Robbery Response Squad (SARS) peacefully.
The youths due to the calmness of the troops also conducted themselves properly as they displayed the ethos of Omoluabi, though, they only chanted solidarity songs, they reiterated the need for SARS to be scrapped.
Addressing the protesting youths, one of the soldiers who had earlier joined the protesters with the Nigerian flag in his hand assured the protestants that they are not at the scene to launch any form of attack on the protesters.
The soldier added that they are with the protesters and would ensure they are safe in the course of their peaceful protest.
He said there was the need for the protesters to obey the executive order of the state governor, Mr Gboyega Oyetola emphasizing that they will not attack the protesters.
It was learnt that the hoodlums would have wreaked havoc on Osun State Broadcasting Company (OSBC) and some other Government-owned parastatals if not for the quick intervention of the soldiers who later restored peace in the areas.
Like I said earlier. Soldiers work on instructions. These are the soldiers deployed to Osun State. See how reasonable this young man is?
