The protesters were, however, denied access into INEC premises by heavily armed security operatives who comprised military personnel, policemen and men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps . The operatives shot sporadically into the air to disperse the protesters, who were not willing to be intimidated by the gunshots.
Speaking with journalists at the entrance of INEC’s office, Adebutu insisted that they would not leave until officials of the commission attend to them.
