Armed with placards with varying inscriptions, the senior citizens stormed Iwo East LCDA secretariat, Olomowewe.

The leader of the peaceful demonstration, Okunlola Joseph Oludare, explained that the state government has refused to pay their contributory pension since 2016. He said those affected are members of the Osun State Contributory Pension Retirees. “They should stop telling lies, they have not paid us. Some of us are sick, some have died because they cant afford food. Schools are resuming now and our children will remain at home because we cant afford to pay school fees,” he lamented.
