Views: Visits 6 By Dapo Akinrefon and James Ogunnaike THE Police, yesterday, clashed with members of Ilana Omo Oodua in Abeokuta, Ogun State during a rally organised to drum-up support for the actualisation of Yoruba nation. The group, under the leadership of Professor Banji Akintoye, is the leading organisation agitating for the emergence of Yoruba nation. Ogun Police Command, in a statement by its spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, had banned the rally, alleging that it was being planned to destabilise the state. But the Media and Communications Secretary of Ilana Omo Oodua, Mr. Maxwell Adeleye, said the rally would go ahead, saying any attempt to stop it would be considered as a declaration of war against the rights to self-determination and peaceful Assembly of the Yoruba people.
