A young street trader simply identified as Jumoke has died at Ojota area of Lagos State, after she was hit by a stray bullet at the Yoruba Nation Rally.

FIJ can also confirm that at least two persons were arrested by policemen at Ojota/Ketu axis “because the Police saw them bear Yoruba Nation Banner”.
