Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland Gani Adams has warned that the abduction and killing of a teacher in Oyo State signals an urgent need for the Southwest to confront growing insecurity, revealing that his repeated calls for cooperation with regional governors have gone unanswered for two years.
The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has declared that the abduction and subsequent killing of a teacher in Oyo State exposes a deepening security crisis demanding urgent regional action.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Adams said the Oriire Local Government Area attack was a wake-up call. “We have not witnessed mass kidnapping in Yorubaland, and that shows that the Yoruba race in the South-West must prepare for this issue of insecurity,” he said.
Adams revealed he had repeatedly warned of criminal infiltration across Southwest states. “Precisely, in November last year, I mentioned four states that these criminals had infiltrated. I mentioned Ondo State, Ekiti State, Osun State, and Oyo State,” he said.
The Yoruba leader disclosed that his written appeals to Southwest governors for security collaboration had gone unanswered for two years, expressing frustration that he was being blamed for worsening insecurity despite his limited constitutional powers.
