The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Chief Gani Adams, in this interview by BOLA BADMUS, speaks, among other things, on the worsening security situation in the country.

You recently raised the alarm that terrorists were hibernating in the forests of Osun and Ogun states. Is the situation still the same?

I think it is still the same. From all indication, we are yet to hear that they have been flushed out of those places. You will remember that when I gave the information about Ibarapa about two years ago, before the issue of Igangan started, I told the whole world that there were bandits between Igboora and Igangan. I also issued a statement about Kisi; that there were some terrorists attacking and kidnapping them. I said the terrorists had taken over the forest reserve there, the Oyo National Park. We moved to Kisi for a rescue operation, during which we apprehended some suspects, seized some arms and ammunition. That was about two years ago. We, in conjunction with the OPC, hunters and vigilantes, handed the suspects over to the Area Commander. They (the terrorists) were there in Oke-Ogun.

Before the issue of the Sarkin Fulani of Igangan and Wakili arose, I had informed the public about Igboora, in the Ibarapa area. At the end of the day, Sunday Igboho went to Igangan and challenged the Sarkin Fulani. He went there for a rally against the Fulani terrorising the two and other areas. The development led to attacks from different Fulani communities in that area. The killing and maiming of our people was coordinated by Wakili in-between Igangan and Ayete. We moved to apprehend Wakili’s second-in-command in Igboora, the same place I raised the information that they were. We apprehended Wakili and three other suspects. Wakili is still in Agodi prison.

You knew what happened to our members who handed over Wakili to the police. They were arrested alongside Wakili and were slammed with different charges by the Nigeria Police. It was because of our legal application that we were able to secure their freedom after four months in prison. That experience is one of the things that impeded us from moving to security-threatened areas without clearance from the government. Without the police, without clearance from the traditional rulers of the communities, it would be difficult to embark on rescue operations. If the police did not frustrate our efforts on the issue of Wakili, we could have moved to flush them out of the forests without even giving this intelligence to the public. What we experienced regarding the Wakili issue gave us a lot of concern; we are aggrieved. We don’t pray for anarchy but we can’t act without the approval of the government and the traditional rulers of the communities. Even if the government did not give approval, the traditional ruler of a community has a say in what is going on in his community, and so with his consent, we can move. That was one of the reasons why we released the information that there was a band of terrorists with a lot of arms and ammunition in the forests.

True

That will actually work eventually

Yes o, government needs to do something about those terrorist because the insecurity in Nigeria now is getting out of hand.

All those foreigners impersonating Nigerians and causing insecurities in Nigeria will soon meet their end; aggressive Nigerians are working to catch them with evidence for persecution.

All the foreigners and international spy attacking the national economy of Nigeria will soon be caught by aggressive Nigerians and handed over to Nigeria authorities for persecution.

Nigerians will surely go after all the secret foreigners waging economy war on the national economy of Nigeria.
No matter where these violence foreigners and international spy are operating from in Nigeria; Nigerians will look for them and uncover their hidding places and will make them know to Nigeria authorities.

All this foreigners working against naira currency will surely be defeated and disgrace by Nigerians very soon.

Only Tinubu urchins don't know this

Even Obi can't return Nigeria to regional government single handedly.

The nation was built on a faulty constitutional foundation.

Few days ago Sheik Gumi said that he pities any of the incoming president. I agree with him a 1000%

Not until we have a New constitution that address such issues as regional government and control of resources this nation will never move forward irrespective of who rules whether Obi, Atiku or Tinubu.

So calm down and let Obi win first. Thank you.

The nation is broken already....

A Muslim President and a Muslim Vice President would grind the nation further to powder form.

Enough is Enough: APC must Go

This are things we should focus on buh people still dey think any of the candidates fit perform magic with this our present constitution and type of Govt...

T9ksy:
Oga Are Ona kankanfo, too much water have already passed under the bridge to go back to Regionalism. Too many of our people have been killed and pauperisied by these fulanis and still persisting, for us to now consider sharing rhe same country with them. Hell No!

Yorubas don't need Nigeria rather it's the other way round. We can do much more better on our own than been lumped with those who wants to subjugate us and take over our ancestral land.

Yoruba Nation on my mind.

Niger Delta or Midwest Republic, our home.
