Professor Banji Akintoye
The apex leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, Professor Banji Akintoye, on Monday, issued an alert to the Yoruba people, saying that the early Sunday attack of the people of Igangan, in Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State by Fulani is a declaration of war against the peace-loving Yoruba people.
In a statement personally signed by him and made available to journalists by his communication manager, Mr Maxwell Adeleye, he commended Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State on his stand on Igangan mayhem.
Akintoye called on the South-West governors to put aside constitutional objections to defend their people, saying “Yoruba land has been surrounded, and we must act now.”
He also urged the younger Yoruba people to rise to the occasion by coming out to defend their land via technological, spiritual and physical warfares, warning that “the Fulani herdsmen attack must never be allowed to succeed anywhere in Yorubaland again.”
According to the statement, “while commiserating with our people in Igangan, we hereby issue a red alert to all Yoruba people at home and in the Diaspora. It must now be clear to all Yoruba people of all classes and economic circumstances that war has come in a big way to our homeland.”
