The Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, has constituted a legal team to defend 21 Ile-Ife indigenes arrested in connection with the recent clash between the Hausa and Yoruba in the historical town.
This was announced in a press statement signed by Mr. Yinka Odumakin, the group’s National Publicity Secretary.
Afenifere described the arrest and eventual parade of the 21 persons by the Police as illegal, unconstitutional and sectionally-biased.
The group vowed to resist the undue deployment of federal might to settle ethnic scores.
“As a first step in this regard, we have assembled a powerful team of lawyers to enforce the fundamental human rights of the 21 abducted Yoruba persons. It is a settled law that the investigation and trial of suspects must take place at the scene of the crime,” said the group.
While appealing to the Yoruba in Ife to remain calm, the group assured that legal team will challenge the mangling of due process and continue mounting political pressure to resist the decision to have the members of only one side in the conflict arrested and put on trial.
“We restate the fact that the Arewa group started the killings in Ife by killing a Yoruba young man. This is clearly missing in the skewed report by the police. We are appreciative of the many lawyers of Yoruba extraction who have taken up this challenge pro bono,” Afenifere added.
We appeal to our people to be calm while we pursue the legal angle to this challenge to our pride as a people as the first step.

The only time we know that police men work in Nigeria is when Hausa people aware killed.
Not when Southern Kaduna people are massacred, Agatu people the same.
Don't forget Enugu, Delta, and Oyo State killings by Fulani herdsmen.
Nigerians not just Yorubas must rise up and say no more.

if it is Igbo arrested Yellow-bas will be happy, thinking that Igbo are troublesome.

I think you are been paid back in your own coins, let the police arrest even the Oba of Ille-ife, Rubbish zoo

You maybe right, but it is better to join forces with other non-Hausa/Fulanis to halt this menace on time.

When will FG order arrest of Fulani murdering herdsman or the killers from Southern Kaduna or those villages in the middle belt?

No source ! .

I think what the yorubas need to do is to déclaré opération no hausa/ fulani in Ife until thèse arressted are released unconditionally...

I knew it. In this animal farm called Nigeria, some animals are more equal than the others.So two sides clashed and you only saw people from one side to arrest, maybe the Hausa's who were involved in the mayhem are ghosts. Our security forces become inept,incompetent and lackadaisical whenever it is the Hausa/Fulani that are doing the killing but let any other tribe attack the Hausa/Fulani and you will see them working in overdrive. What kind of country is this?

This is just a "thank you for voting me" package. The real gift would come 2018
