Protest: MKO Stadium Empty in Ogun as Security Operatives Take Over

In Ogun State, as of 9:45 am on Thursday, no protester has been sighted at the Moshood Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta, the designated venue for the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protesters in the state capital.

Recall that an Ogun State High Court on Wednesday ordered the sponsors of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests to limit their activities to four locations in the state.

The court also restricted the time frame of the protests to between 8 am and 5 pm.

The four locations are the MKO Stadium, Abeokuta; Ansar-ud-Deen Comprehensive High School, Ota; Remo Divisional High School, Sagamu; and Dipo Dina Stadium, Ijebu-Ode.

However, a visit to the stadium this morning only revealed a heavy security presence without any protesters in sight.

Aside heavy presence of police and other security officers manning the stadium, there is also a detachment of soldiers in strategic locations across the state capital to forestall the breakdown of law and order.

Our correspondent also noticed that banks did not open for business in Abeokuta and cars on the road are also very scanty.
