Unrest as Yoruba Nation agitators rally in Lagos

Unrest has been reported in the Ojota area of Lagos on Monday, as some Yoruba Nation agitator held a rally.

According to reports, the Yoruba Nation group had planned to hold a mega rally at Ojota to press for self-determination from the Nigerian federation.

Based on videos and photos shared on social media, Ojota was the scene of a clash between police and members of the group.

However, a source told Foundation for Investigative journalism that two groups, suspected to be Oduduwa Peoples Congress and Yoruba Nation agitators, clashed in the early hours of Monday, resulting in one casualty.

The source said police arrived the scene and shot teargas to disperse the crowd.

“Ojota is up in smoke, police are shooting teargas, and one person is dead. There was a clash between the OPC and Yoruba Nation.”

When contacted by our correspondent, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said normalcy had been restored.

He said he could not give details at the moment.

“I don’t have the details, once I have the details, I will let you know,” the PPRO said.

By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances. I will attempt to undertake this analysis by demonstrating, first that Eguavoen has a better record than one might realize, and secondly by comparing the performance of his Super Eagles with that of Afcon winners, Senegal, and runners-up Egypt. When Gernot Rohr was sacked a few weeks to the Afcon, knowledgeable sportspersons decried the move, citing the difficulty any new coach would face in setting up the team to play to his own patterns.
