Obiagu1:

Hey, everyone should relax, I've talked to those militants and they've promised to return the Oba unharmed as soon as possible.

Cyborg2011:

Peace shall reign when the Yoruba tribalist stop inserting the Igbos into their conflicts. That is the only way.

EzeUche_:

This is an Igbo man's bravery. And much more than a cowardly group who is always beating their chest, but when a small band of youth invade a town, they lose their oba!

I pity you!!! . Who are the tribalist here? Is it the people that do not want to escalate this into a tribal conflict or you that was riling them? Double standards, my brother. .

The tribalist are the ones who inserted another group who has nothing to do with this situation, just for mere fact that they were discussing the issue at hand.

I never seen such fury directed at Igbo posters, by the mere fact of our presence on a thread. And if you look at the first pages, no Igbo was trying to rile your people up. We just wanted to know the next action that your people would take.

You all took it to another level. We just responded with righteous vengeance. It was a JUST cause.

sbeezy8:

you just realized he has split personality- the other day  he was talkin about how igbos will handle ijaws in the thread about biafra. LOL

hes sick in the head lmfao

namfav:

damn the oba is kidnapped, thats ganster

jason123:

I thought it was only me that noticed it. Yet he would be one of the first person to accuse the yorubas of double talking and double standards. SMH. Infact, he gave me his word to stop tribalism and I did the same no matter what people say, just for him to start this same tribalism about 3-5 days ago. SMH

engineerd:

This is pretty funny. To see all the different ethnic groups on here spewing crap. They kidnapped oba this they kidnapped oba that, its an act of war, blah blah blah, I am not ethnically biased, but i will try to be as objective as possible. I can tell you that a yoruba man will be the last to enter a war, but will be the only survival after the war. If Yoruba were to have an Army on its own, in that army, we wil have hausas, igbo man fighting for us, while we get rich and make sweet love to their women!

jason123:

LOL. Have fun but do not complain ooo when they return fire!

BY DAYO JOHNSON
AKURE—POLICE in Ondo State have secured the release of Oba Samuel Oyegbemi, abducted by some militant youths in riverine Ijaw community, Iju-Osun, Ondo State.
Last week the militants invaded the town and  abducted  Oba Oyegbemi, set his palace ablaze, other buildings and allegedly killed five persons.
Speaking with newsmen, Ondo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, PRO, Mr. Aremu Adeniran, said the monarch, was hale and hearty.
Adeniran said a combined team of the anti-riot and regular police officers, deplored in the area, secured the release of the monarch on Saturday.
He said the monarch was in high spirit and was not rough-handled by the Ijaw youths who abducted him after setting his palace and other houses ablaze, during their rampage.
He said nobody had been arrested by the police over the unfortunate development, but confirmed that the command had begun  investigation into the matter.
Reports had it that some Militants youths from Ijaw  invaded Iju-Osun town in the Irele Local Government Area of Ondo State and burnt the place.
Adeniran, however said only two lives were lost while the palace of the monarch and two other houses were torched.
According to him  that the ijaw youths were probably on a revenge mission following the discovery of the body of an ex militants in Iju-Osun, on Thursday.
He said, “Security has been beefed up to avert further loss of life Ikale. Our men are there.
We are making efforts to release the monarch. The man is good. No report of any clash was recorded before the discovery of the corpse of the late monarch in the town”
It was learnt that the invasion of the town by the ex-militants, followed the mysterious death of a middle aged Ijaw man, simply identified as Samuel in the town.
The deceased reportedly hailed from Arogbo Ijaw in Ese odo local government.
A High Chief in the town told reporters on Friday that the militants shot sporadically and later set several houses including the palace of the Olughogho of Iju –Osun, ablaze.
He said residents of neighboring towns like Ajagba, Akotogbo and other villages in the area had also fled their towns in anticipation of possible invasion by aggrieved militants in the Ijaw communities .

The OBA  has been released UNHURT. Where are the so called tribal bashers!

EzeUche_:

Great news! I am glad that the Oba was released unharmed.

I am done with this topic now.

Obiagu1:

I told you I talked to them and they promised they would release him unharmed as soon as possible.

~Bluetooth:

The useless boys prolly weighed their options and they saw that they need not start a war they can't win.wait and see what happens next.

Βουκέφαλος:

Many people dont even understand that Irele is an ijaw town in Ondo state. so i dont understand the invade part, Ijaws lives there and it is their town including okitipupa and ilaje too. So dont turn this into a big issue no one was invaded, I am dissapointed in most of the yoruba peeps who didnt know this but instead calling it an art of war,

Βουκέφαλος:

Their is no cowardice here, Irele people are ijaws, The ijaw are around 17 percent of ondo states population. dont be decieved by their yoruba names, OLUSEGUN AGAGU the former governor was from the area too,
