A rising sense of unease and concern has spread among residents of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, following the arrival of a heavily packed truck carrying dozens of young men, numerous motorcycles, and cows from Northern Nigeria.
The incident, captured in a viral video, has triggered intense discussions among locals who fear the movement could pose a security risk to the city, given the prevailing security climate in the country.
The truck was sighted around the busy Dugbe area, visibly overloaded with young men sitting closely together, several motorcycles tied to the sides, and cows positioned at the rear.
As the vehicle entered the city, residents could be heard in the video alerting one another and expressing shock at the unusual sight. Many immediately raised concerns about what the arrival of such a large, organized group could mean for public safety.
The growing public anxiety stems from recent reports of violent attacks and rising criminal activity nationwide. Residents noted that the arrival of large groups without clear explanations is unsettling.
Community members urged caution and called on authorities to immediately investigate the purpose of the mass movement. Several residents have also called for increased patrols and a stronger security presence across the city to prevent any possible breakdown of order.
