Yoruba socio-cultural group, Oodua People’s
Congress (OPC), on Sunday condemned what it
called unwarranted, diabolical and fatal attacks
on Yorubaland and its people as well as other non-
indigenous inhabitants by Fulani herdsmen and
Niger-Delta militants, saying enough is enough.
The group made the condemnation in a
statement signed by the spokesperson of its
National Coordinating Council (NCC), Comrade
Sina Akinpelu, and made available to journalists in
Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
It will be recalled that for two times last week
some communities in Ogun and Lagos States
came under attack by people suspected to be
Niger Delta militants leaving many dead and
injured.
While stating that the Yoruba people are peace
loving and accommodating people which has led
to the towns and cities grow in leaps and bounds,
Akinpelu warned that the
openness and hospitality of the race should not
be misconstrued for docility.
According to him, the OPC is able and ever ready
to match force with force if that should be the
only solution to the incessant attacks on
Yorubaland.
He then called on the attackers and those that
are aspiring to attack Yorubaland or its interests
to have a rethink, stating that there will be
immediate and far-reaching reprisals, the
type of which is easier imagined than
experienced.
He stated further while the group recognizes the
right of all people to self-determination, it also
believe that such right should not infringe on the
rights of others, particularly the peace-loving and
amiable Yoruba people.
Akinpelu then appealed to Northern and Niger-
Delta elders and leaders to call their people to
order, insisting that no group or race has
monopoly of violence.
