Residents of Lagos State are presently living in fear over rumours that there might be attacks from hoodlums during the planned 'Yoruba Nation' mega rally

Another resident from Ikeja area, who spoke to LEADERSHIP on the planned rally, said: “There’s a rising tension now in Lagos. Folks are spreading fears that there is a planned reprisal attack against security agencies during the rally and this is causing tension. You know when that happens merchants of conflicts will take advantage of the situation. For me, I will just be indoors and won’t open my shop, We all saw what happened during #EndSARS.

Igboho’s spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, said the July 3 rally will go ahead at Ojota despite the raiding of Igboho’s Ibadan home by the DSS and the arrest of 13 people. “I have spoken to the organisers, nothing has changed so far. 3rd of July from exactly 9:00am in the morning. The whole arrangement and planning is going on.

“We might get a form of video from Igboho about the Lagos rally, which might be released, we’ll be deciding that in the next 24 hours.
