EKO HOT BLOG gathered that the agitators, who were dressed in various local outfits, marched through Alake’s palace to access other parts of the state capital.
Addressing the agitators, the leader of the group, said, “We had spoken with the police. Nobody can stop us from walking freely on our fatherland.
“That’s Alake’s palace, we are going there. They all know we are fighting their cause. They know we want to save them from the Fulanis.”
