Yoruba Nation,Activists,Invasion

Sunday Igboho and Banji Akintoye, the leading Yoruba nation activists, have condemned the invasion of the Oyo state secretariat by Oodua nation agitators.

16 gunmen suspected to be members of the group, for invading the state government secretariat in Agodi, Ibadan.

They were also said to have removed the Nigerian national flag in the secretariat and replaced it with their “Oodua nation flag”, before the intervention of the security officials. “I know nothing about it and I don’t know those behind it. If we want to organise a rally or any Yoruba nation activity, we usually make an announcement beforehand,” Igboho said.“Any person that said he is agitating for Yoruba nation and is going to attack government facilities, that person or group is on his own. I don’t know anything about it.”

“I have spoken to Sunday Igboho. Some people sent them to make sure that they disrupt the Yoruba self-determination struggle,” Akintoye said.In a statement by Onyema Nwachukwu, its spokesperson, the Nigerian Army called on the public to remain calm and to report any suspicious activity to security agencies.
