An armada of security operatives from the Nigerian Army, Department of State Security Service (DSS), police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and security dogs keep vigil at the sprawling Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, Ogun State, as over 12 serving and past African presidents, governors and ambassadors among others surged into the facility for its inauguration on Saturday morning.
The two gates leading to the OOPL were manned by armed security personnel and fierce looking German Shepherd Dogs (GSD) while dignitaries were thoroughly screened by operatives from the police’s Explosives and Ordinance Division (EOD).
