The security personnel included men of the Nigerian Police Force, Joint Task Force, the Department of State Service (DSS), Amotekun, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).


At about 9:15am, the combined security operatives who were heavily armed were stationed around the popular Fajuyi park, the venue for the self-determination rally.

Security officials were also seen in front of the Ekiti Government House, Adunni Olayinka Bus stop, Oke-sa interjection and other strategic points in the state capital.
