Oluwo To Lead Protest Against Ritual Killings, Corruption by EngrHumble(m): 1:33pm On Aug 20, 2019
Oluwo of Iwoland, HIM Oba (Dr.) Abdulrosheed
Adewale Akanbi, has declared readiness to lead a
national protest against ritual killings and
corruption in the Country .

He lamented the impotency of government at
tackling ritual menace, stating that ritual killing is
prevalence but deadlier than kidnapping.
Oluwo stated protection of lives is the primary
responsibility of the government, noting such can
be credited until ritual killings is checkmated by
the present administration.

He equally vowed to declare an open protest
against corruption characterising public officials in
Nigeria.

Oluwo decry daily loss of innocent lives to ritual
killings, saying it is an aberration to culture and
highest denial of right to life.

According to a statement by the monarch’s press
secretary, Alli Ibraheem, Oluwo called for
enactment of strict penal system against human
ritualists and corrupt individual to safeguard
human and protect their lives.

“It is saddens no attention is paid by the federal
government to prevalence ritual killings pervading
our country. Thousands fall victim of ritual on
daily basis but regrettably, no one condemns
such. I’m not happy with the neglect of my outcry
on daily killings of my sons and daughters by
ritualists. These people are deadlier than
Bokoharam and kidnappers. I will lead thousands
of Nigerians with like minds on national protest
against human ritualists and corrupt individual.
“Right now, as I’m talking, evil men are
somewhere killing human for rituals in the name
of money and promotion. Few relate offering
human for sacrifice as culture, no, it is an
aberration to every culture. No culture accepts
human as sacrifice ” he said.

Oluwo added that “I’m appealing to federal
government to declare war against ritual killings.
Strict penalty like death should be meted on any
one culpable. Killers should be killed. Killing is
not a forgivable offence. If federal government
refuse, I will declare an open traditional war
against ritualists and front a national protest.

“The Afeniferes, OPCs, Agbekoyas and other pan
Yoruba cultural groups should join the revolution
against ritual killings. Many gave gone to the
journey of no return in the hands of ritual killers. It
is pathetic, sad and calls for urgent legislation.

Ritual killing is decimating our population daily.
Must we continue watching the menace? Those in
the government are not seeing what we see. Ritual
murders is prevalent on the south west, south
east. We must rise before it claim all out
promising sons and daughters.

“I want to state it clearly here that killing human
for rituals is not Yoruba culture. It is alien to our
culture. Yoruba culture is pure, clean and
attractive. Look at my dress, it is enticing,
fascinating, ostentatious and attractive. Only the
ignorance and enemies of Yoruba culture will
relate ritual killings to Yoruba culture.”

Oluwo said declaring emergency war against ritual
killings is acute to secure human lives
