There was a heavy presence of police, men of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, at Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, Osogbo, the venue of the Yoruba Nation Mega Rally on Saturday.

Also sighted at the venue were men of Amotekun Corps, who were positioned at a strategic spot, apparently to prevent participants from accessing the venue.

Suspecting that the security men were there to prevent the rally from holding, the participants later regrouped under November 27 Bridge along Osogbo/Gbongan Road, Osogbo.
