The Ogun State Police Command has warned those agitating for Yoruba nation not to go ahead with a mass rally said to have been scheduled for May 1 in Abeokuta.
Police public relations officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who made this known in a press statement on Thursday, April 29, described the rally as disturbing.
According to him “available intelligence shows that the organizers of these rallies are being sponsored by certain individuals outside the State and the country to destabilize Ogun State.”
While conceding that citizens have constitutional rights to freedom of association and expression, the police warned that these rights should not be exercised to the detriment of other citizens.
The command also appealed to parents to warn their children and wards not to be involved in any of such gatherings that may expose them to violence, warning that the rally could be hijacked by hoodlums.
