The Police had stopped the buses conveying the BNYL members, searched everywhere and later took them to the State Police Headquarters.
According to the National Leader of BNYL, Princewill Chimezie Richard who spoke to Daily Times on the matter,  the group took off on a convoy from Ahoada East, in Rivers State, where all members who came from Bakassi, Ikom, Ikot Ekpene and Delta state were lodged ahead of the event. 
He said two of their buses which were carrying the Bakassi and Ikom members were signalled to reverse back, adding that those rounded up by the Police were Ahoada, Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni and Ikwerre chapters of BNYL.
