Scores of the Yoruba nation agitators on Saturday staged a massive rally in Akure, the capital of Ondo State.
This is in defiance to warning by Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, in March this year, that all agitators for Yoruba nation should stay away from the state.
Spokesman for the group, Maxwell Adeleye, had assured that the rally would hold without violence or any form of brigàndage.
He said the rally would relentlessly and vociferously demanded for Oduduwa Republic.
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) deployed its personnel to the Isokan Roundabout, venue of the rally.
Women, youths, okada riders are seen sitting in groups waiting for the rally to commence.
Similarly, Ondo Police Command spokesperson, ASP Tee-Leo Ikoro, said the police would not allow miscreants use the rally to cause havoc like what happened during the #ENDSARS protest
