They stormed the venue while the driver of one of the founding fathers was trying to park the vehicle and started removed his number plate .
Efforts made to stop them by the driver failed as he threatened to deal with anyone who want to stop them from carrying out their mission.

When efforts made to remind them that men in that age bracket should not be embarrassed, and that they are not the type of people to be twisted to bring out money, the dark goggle-wearing leader said that even if they want they should call the Governor, Chairman of the LGA, or anybody, all they know is that they were doing their legitimate duties.
