Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams says armed terrorists now occupy parts of Oyo State.

He said intelligence indicated that they were at Old Oyo Game Reserve at Sooro village in Kishi town, Irepo Local Government of Oyo State.

He recalled his alarm late August that hundreds of men were seen on motorcycles heading towards the area.

The Aare warned that the development posed a great danger to the security of the entire South-West.

In a statement on Wednesday, Adams alerted that the sects were involved in rape, kidnap of locals, threats to livelihoods as well as access to forest resources.

The Yoruba leader said children, the aged and women are the most hit by the violent activities of outlaws.

“I have received numerous reports from Kishi, North-West of Oyo State. The reports range from ceaseless kidnapping, rape and threat to lives of Yoruba people in the Oke Ogun area with Kishi as the present hub of terrorist attacks. It’s my responsibility to alert the public and also the relevant authorities”, he said.

Noting that Oyo has the largest land mass in South-West and listed as the 14th in Nigeria, Adams declared that the agenda was to occupy Yorubaland.

He added that Oyo retains a traditional route that links Sokoto State and also borders Ogun State, South of Kwara State and the Republic of Benin and in the East by Osun State.

“The occupation of the land by armed groups is an assault on Yoruba heritage and civilisation. Part of the forest hosts the sacred tabernacle of ancient Yoruba Alaafin whose graves were located in parts of the forest. The killing and kidnapping of over a hundred people is frightening and worrisome.

“The records are there. The recent Intelligence report from Kishi is too frightening because terrorists have taken over the area, with the number of victims growing by the day. We need to react to these senseless killings because of the timing and exigencies. I have sent the report to the Oyo state governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde.

“I have also alerted the Director-General of Amotekun in Oyo state. I have also informed the Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, through a message to his Assistant, and I have informed the Okere of Saki”, he said.

This country is finished with insecurity

Over 20yrs ago, this was how American government alerted Nigerian government over the training going on the North eastern part of the country ( Bornu ) ,but was not taken seriously.

Flush them out

Where are we heading to?

Where them soldiers?

Where them detectives?

When will Amotekun starts operation in Oyo?

Where r the police?

The local vigilantes?

OPC?

SARS?

The west has been infiltrated finally

Hate speech...

Just read a nairalander's encounter with these Fulani herdsmen along ogbomosho-ilorin road. Dude was stabbed & his friend kidnapped.
So it's safe to say Oyo state has been subtly infiltrated to a high degree. It's until one of those big wigs get killed before all these audio governors start anything tangible .

We omoluabis welcome the fulani herdsmen into our land. They re our brothers and we are bonded by religion.

You people should stop castigating them. We true yorubas welcome and enjoin them to feel at home

Mtcheeeew, PMB Sai Baba = 2023

MURIC is coming for their defense

Be ready !

Amotekun is fully on ground
