Osun State governor, Mr Gboyega Oyetola has appealed to youth protesting against police brutality in the state to maintain calm as government is ready to accede to their demands.

Governor Oyetola who joined the #EndSARS protest in Osogbo, said their agitation for police reform was understandable owing to harassment they had being subjected to by the men of the defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

He noted that government had resolved that justice must be served and the families of those who had been killed by the squad must be compensated.

Governor Oyetola who maintained that the youth had fundamental rights to protest against any unpopular policy of government urged them to do everything within the ambit of the law.

Some of the protesters lauded the governor for identifying with them and urged him to take their grievances to the federal government.
