Tension is high in some parts of the state over the attack on the Ibadan home of Igboho by Nigerian forces as well as the planned Yoruba Nation rally on Saturday.
Secessionist organizations have vowed to go ahead with the gathering despite the ban announced by the Police.
A body of self-determination, Yoruba groups and co-organisers, Ilana Omo Oodua (IOO) had told DAILY POST that the event will go on as scheduled.
The venue, Gani Fawehimi Freedom Park in Ojota, has witnessed increased presence of security operatives.
