 The Nigerian Army has alleged that individuals associated with the Yoruba Nation fired upon soldiers stationed at the Ayah State Secretariat. Now some Yoruba Nation supporters reportedly trespassed on the premises of the Ayah State House of Assembly Agudis Secretariat in Badal, a scene in a widely circulated video clip where they declared the establishment of a democratic republic of the Yoruba separate from Nigeria. The Army spokesperson Onye Mawachiko emphasized the importance of public cooperation in maintaining peace and advice citizens to promptly report and potentially threaten behavior to their proper security authorities.
