Panic in Ibadan as Residents Alarmed by Arrival of Truckload of Young Men, Motorcycles and Cows
Residents of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, were thrown into alarm and unease after a truck carrying large numbers of young men, motorcycles, and cows was spotted entering the city, sparking widespread concern about public safety.
According to a video seen by reporters from Parallel Facts, the heavily loaded truck was first observed around the busy Dugbe area. The sight of dozens of youths, livestock and motorcycles reportedly triggered panic among local residents, many of whom began sharing warnings among themselves.
In response, a number of concerned residents called for heightened security measures, warning that such a convoy could lead to unrest, violence, or other safety risks in the city. Some residents expressed fears that the arrival of a “truckload” of strangers might bring about trouble.
As of the latest updates, official statements from authorities have not been released. It remains unclear who organized the transport, where the passengers and livestock were headed, or whether any formal clearance or registration procedures were followed.
The development has renewed calls from locals for proactive security monitoring, particularly in busy urban hubs such as Dugbe, to forestall potential disturbances.
