 Unheavily armed security operatives on Saturday morning took over strategic parts of Adoikiti, the Aikiti state capital, ahead of today's rally by the Yoruba nation agitators. The security personnel included men of the Nigerian police force, joint task force, the Department of State Services, Amotecun, Nigerian security and civil defense corps and a CDC. Eyewitnesses say that scores of security officials were stationed at different locations in the state capital, especially around the popular Faji Park, the venue for the self-determination rally. The agitators were not deterred by the presence of heavily armed security operatives as they thronged the venue of the rally in the large numbers.
