The report stated that at 10:30 am, a major disagreement played out amongst the organizers of the protest at Ojota.

While the arguments were going on, the police stepped in to speak to the small group of protesters to leave.
And shortly after the police addressed the protesters, a group, the protesters claimed, was sponsored, came from the other side of the road to disperse them.
“By 11:30 am, the hoodlums returned, chasing all the protesters in Ojota away. The police have since occupied the protest grounds,’ Channels TV reported.
