In a separate incident on Sunday, two suspected members of the Yoruba Nation were arrested while attempting to take control of the Alausa Police Station in Ikeja.

Approximately 15 agitators entered the station, recorded videos, and chanted slogans expressing their dissatisfaction with the Nigeria police and asserting the Yoruba Nation’s dominance.
