Despite the heavy presence of armed policemen and soldiers around the Gani Fawehinmi Park, Ojota, Lagos, agitators of Yoruba Nation came out in their numbers.
They were chanting different kinds of freedom songs, including, “No going back,” “We want Oodua Nation,” among others.
So far, the rally is going on peacefully without harassment from security agents.
The agitators surfaced around 11.20 am while the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, was addressing reporters.
Some of the agitators who spoke to reporters said it was time to have a separate nation for the Yoruba ethnic group because they don’t have anything in common with the other ethnic groups in Nigeria.
