Presidential Inauguration: Security forces foil planned disruption

Vanguard
29 May 2011


The efforts of the  personnel of one of the intelligence agencies in the country may have paid off as the financial assistance sought by a group of northern youths to carry out protests with a view to disrupting the  inauguration of President Goodluck Jonathan didn’t materialise, as the nation is set for the event today.

Also, Sunday Vanguard learnt that the clearing of the perimetres of the
Eagle Square
, venue of  the  inauguration and its adjourning areas, 48 hours ago, was “with a view to ensuring that no stone was left unturned”.

Facts emerging at the weekend and which we have been able to piece together further suggest  that “an earlier request had been made by a youth group in the northern part of the country to a political party for funds.”
