The Umbrella body of Yoruba Self-Determination Groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, IOO, headed by a renowned Historian, Emeritus Professor Banji Akintoye on Friday, July 2, 2021 insisted that the pro-Yoruba Nation’s rally scheduled to hold in the Commerical City of Lagos will go on as scheduled.
The Lagos Police Command, on Thursday, July 1, 2021 had insisted that no rally, under any guise, will be held in the State following intelligence reports that there are plans to hijack the rally by hoodlums.
But the IOO in a letter to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hakeem Odumosu, and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State by its General Secretary and Legal Adviser, George Akinola and Olasupo Ojo respectively, urged the Police Command to ensure that the rally is peaceful, orderly and not hijacked by hoodlums as earlier insinuated by Police.
In a statement by its Communications Manager, Mr. Maxwell Adeleye, the IOO said: “Our rally sheduled to hold on Saturday, July 3, 2021 will still hold without any fear or intimidation and we promise to be peaceful like we have always been.
