Hoodlums Some hooligans, on Thursday, December 21, 2023, hijacked a bus conveying Christmas gifts meant for some family heads, otherwise known as Mogajis in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
The bus conveying the gifts was attacked while making a U-turn at the Oja Oba area of the largest city in Wear Africa, Daily Post reports.
The source added further that the bus was coming from the Beere area and heading to the Olubadan Palace at Oja Oba before it was attacked at a stone-throw distance from the palace.
