One of the leaders of the Youths, Comrade Waheed Saka, said, “We cannot ruin the economic activities of our state all in the name that some secessionist agitators want to protest. We are here today to demand a better country that works for all, we want a secure environment.”
Security presence was noticed at State Secretariat, Ola-Iya, Aregbe, Oke-Fia and Old Garage.
Military and police were on patrol around the state capital.
Shops and other businesses were closed as there are fewer activities of commercial buses and motorcycles in the state capital over speculated violence that may accompany the June 12 rally especially the threat by Yoruba nation agitators.
