Commissioner of Police Hakeem Odumosu said some of them were intercepted with guns, axes, Oodua flags, Yoruba Armed Forces vests and other items. They are to provide N300,000 with two sureties each as a condition for their bail.

A motion for the bail application was filed by human rights lawyers led by Olasupo Ojo and Oladapo Kayode. “One of the sureties must be a family member and the other a community leader or clergy with proof of tax payment,” it was said.
