A disturbing scene unfolded in Oke Ado, Ibadan, on Monday as a viral video captured the looting of the CBEX office, sending shockwaves across social media and raising concerns about security in the area.
According to eyewitness reports, the incident began earlier in the day when unidentified individuals stormed the premises of CBEX—an establishment located in one of the city’s bustling neighborhoods. The footage, which has now been widely circulated online, shows people carting away items from the building while bystanders watched in disbelief.
Residents of the area described the situation as chaotic, with some claiming that the looting began suddenly and escalated before security operatives could intervene.
“I was just coming back from the market when I saw people running into the building and carrying things out. It was like something out of a movie,” a local trader told reporters.
As of the time of filing this report, it is unclear what triggered the looting or whether it was linked to a broader protest or unrest. Authorities have yet to release an official statement, and no arrests have been confirmed.
Security operatives were later seen arriving at the scene to restore order and disperse the crowd. Meanwhile, residents are calling for a swift investigation and improved security presence to prevent a recurrence of such incidents.
