Security Halts ‘RevolutionNow’ Protest In Ilorin {See Photos}

The #RevolutionNow protest march billed to take place on Monday has suffered a setback in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital as security operatives from the Nigeria Police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) took over the venue for the take-off.

At the entrance of the Ilorin Stadium Complex, heavily-armed security personnel were stationed, preventing people from gaining access to the facility.

This development also  affected the athletes who usually go to the stadium for training as they were also denied entry.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ajayi Okasanmi, disclosed that the need to forestall any breakdown of law and order informs the heavy security presence as the call for revolution is against the law.
