It was gathered that the protesters converged at Taki roundabout and marched down to Ogbomoso town to express their grievances.
Notable politicians at the scene include Olamiju Alao Akala, Onirese, and host others.
The Aale Okelerin, Oba Samuel Babatunde Amao was also present at the rally, the Imam of Yoruba Land, Sheikh Abdulraheem Aduanigba, Asiwaju Ojo Oluwatanna and many more were present at the rally.
Earlier reports also indicated that a younger brother of Olugbenga Owolabi was in the police net in relation to the death of the hotelier and his staff.
