Yoruba Nation Protesters Storm Ojota, Lagos (Pictures) - Edoman - 07-03-2021
Quote:Yoruba nation protesters on Saturday stormed the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, Ojota, Lagos where the rally was scheduled to commence.
A live video by BBC pidgin showed a large crowd gathered at the venue chanting different songs.
DAILY POST had earlier reported that armed security operatives on Saturday morning took over the venue ahead of the rally slated for 10am today.
However, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu while addressing newsmen at the protest ground a few minutes ago, said Nigerians have the right to peaceful protests.
According to him, the security operatives were deployed to the area to ensure that the protest was not hijacked by hoodlums.

Police Disperse Yoruba Nation Agitators In Lagos With Gunshots
Gunshots have been fired by policemen present at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota, Lagos as the Yoruba nation rally begins.
This was after the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, addressed journalists at the venue saying no rally is allowed in Lagos.
However, some Yoruba nation agitators dared the security operatives by spreading banners and flyers to announce their arrival and presence.
A few minutes later, shots were fired and hot water from an armoured tank was sprayed to disperse them.
Some of the agitators were seen getting dragged into an armoured tank by policemen.
