VIDEO: One reportedly shot dead as Yoruba Nation group rally in Ojota

One person was reportedly shot dead in Ojota area of Lagos on Monday, as some Yoruba Nation members held a rally.

According to reports, the Yoruba Nation group had planned to hold a mega rally at Ojota to press for self-determination.

In a viral video seen by NewsWireNGR, one of the agitators was seen angry and threatening to burn down the police station in the area over the death of “his people”.

However, a source quoted by the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) said that two groups, suspected to be Oduduwa Peoples Congress and Yoruba Nation agitators, clashed in the early hours of Monday, resulting in one casualty.

The source said police arrived the scene and shot teargas to disperse the crowd.

“Ojota is up in smoke, police are shooting teargas, and one person is dead. There was a clash between the OPC and Yoruba Nation.”
