Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho has announced the suspension of the Yoruba Nation rally which was scheduled to hold in Lagos on Saturday.
This is coming after gunmen alleged to be operatives of the Nigerian Army and the Department of State Security, attacked his residence in Soka, Oyo State.
The gunmen who reportedly killed two persons also abducted his wife.
The Yoruba Nation agitator had held rallies in different parts of South-West, while the rally for Lagos was scheduled for Saturday.
However, Igboho while speaking with BBC News pidgin, disclosed that rally in Lagos has been suspended.
Igboho stated this after the leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, Banji Akintoye, announced that the Yoruba Nation rally in Lagos will still hold on Saturday.
Akintoye made this statement available to newsmen through his media aide, Maxwell Adeleye.
“We want to confirm again that the Pro-Yoruba Nation rally scheduled to hold on Saturday, July 3rd, in Lagos will proceed as scheduled” the statement read in part.
