 The palpable tension took the better part of Saturday morning in the care area of Abelkuta-Diagon State Capitol as agitators of the Yoruba Nation defied police ban on mass rally and massed through the streets with many of them taking position in front of the palace of the Laki of Edbaland. As early as 7 a.m. security operatives took over the streets of Abelkuta in order to stop the rally but the agitators under the aegis of Ilano Omo Odoa defied the security presence and continued with their procession. However, a swift respite from the operatives of the state police command and the Niger security and civil defence corps prevented the agitators from constituting threats to the monarch and his palace. Eleven of the agitators were arrested and whisked away. The police public relations officer in the state Abim Bola Oyayemi said they acted quickly to apprehend the agitators to protect the monarch and the palace from coming to harm.
