The Police have blocked the Gani Fawehinmi freedom park, venue of the Amotekun solidarity walk in Lagos.
The Yoruba World Congress(YWC) under the leadership of Prof. Banji Akintoye is organising a solidarity walk in all the South West states to rally support for the newly launched security outfit, Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed Operation Amotekun and governors in the region, following Attorney General of the Federation(AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami’s claim that the security outfit is illegal.
But the people gathering for the rally in Lagos are being barred from gaining access into the park, which serves as the take off point for the walk by the men of Nigeria Police Force.
The Police barricaded the entrance to the park with their vehicles, thereby preventing the people, who turned out in large numbers from gaining entry.
