Ogun State Police Command has arrested nine Oro worshippers who attacked Muslims after imposing an illegal curfew. The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi identified the suspects as Dondo Sunday, Nurudeen Lawal, Idowu Desu, Monday Akinlolu, Dele Dada, Raimi Jacob, Abiola Azeez, Olarewaju Akerele and Tetede Jamiu.

It will be recalled that the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), an Islamic human rights organization had called for the arrest and prosecution of Oro worshippers in its press statement issued last week (4th September, 2019) for invading a mosque, injuring the Muslim worshippers and damaging mosque properties.

Commenting on the arrests on Tuesday, 10th September, 2019, MURIC hailed the police for arresting the culprits.
The Director of the group said, “We commend Ogun State Police Command for making these arrests. It is long overdue. Oro worshippers have for long exhibited reckless impunity. They had become the Alpha and the Omega in Ipokia. They gave adherents of other religions no peace.
“How can they be declaring curfew at will and usurping the authority of both the local and state governments? How can they be attacking and maiming people of other faiths and even destroying properties without anyone calling them to order. This arrest serves them right but it must not end there. They must be made to pay for damaged mosque properties.
“They must also appear in court. This case must not end at the police station. They have serious cases to answer: breaking and entering, premeditated damage, occasioning grievous harm and contempt of court. Ignorance and religious bigotry are their major problems and they must be taught a lesson.
“The way the police handles this case will determine whether or not there will be a lasting solution to the problem. Oro worshippers must be made to realize that there is a constitution in this country. In particular, the traditional ruler of the community must be told in black and white that he is not the absolute ruler in the land and that he himself must submit to the authority of the local, state and federal governments. Gone are the days when traditional rulers brandished unlimited power and feudal tyranny.
“Above all, both the traditional ruler and the Oro worshippers must submit to the supremacy of the law. In this regard, they must obey subsisting court ruling on the modus operandi of their Oro by restricting their operations to the hours between 12 am and 4 am or risk going to jail.
“MURIC calls on police formations in the South West to borrow a leaf from their Ogun state counterparts because the imposition of illegal curfews by Oro worshippers is not restricted to Ipokia alone. It is very rampant in the sub-region. Ikorodu in Lagos State has also been the hotbed of acrobatic extremism and gymnastic criminality on the part of Oro worshippers. What the police needs to do in order to subdue Oro worshippers and their hooliganism is to manifest gallantry and professionalism.
“In our closing remarks, we commend Ogun Police Command for effecting the arrest of Oro culprits. We strongly demand their arraignment in a court of proper jurisdiction. We urge other police formations in the South West to deal with violent and recalcitrant worshippers of Oro in their domain in like manner.”
Professor Ishaq Akintola,
Director,
Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)

Will all be made irrelevant.

Secondly I feel say your pikin just die two weeks ago, you no feel say na that ORO worshippers do juju kill your pikin?
You need to ask questions.

Let's not throw away the baby with the bath water

This muric man no know pass to dey write craps and put it on social media...
Every territories have their own inherited cultural value and gods they serve.. instead of this man just talking , he could have preach about his religion to them and convert them so that they would not be having Oro festival..
Telling a traditional worshipper to stop their festival is just telling an average Muslim faithful not to pray on Friday... Think about it

This issue of religious intimidation by cultist/ criminals must be tackled urgently and clear-headedly. This traditional worshippers and their allies (Christians) therefore need to know that they cannot use violence to get their way. Against all odds these monsters must not win.

We have finally liberated our people in Ogun state from the hand of these cultist and bring an end to their misery. ALHAMDULLAH!

Yaribanzas

So Christians are allies to Oro worshippers and are ,"monsters" that must be stopped?

This same bastard was calling on Christians to unite with them to oppose the curfew imposed by the traditionalist now you can see him describing Christians as part of the enemies of Islam .

Akintola, Fulani will wipe our the rest of your useless offsprings

I thought Yoruba is Yoruba ?

bIoodykiller:
lol battle between the real Omoluabis original yerobas
vs
fake yerobas AKA the yeroba Muslims who are not real yerobas but immigrants from futa jalon that settled in south west

I keep saying it by the time real Omoluabis wake up from their slumber
their culture, traditions, beliefs, etc. would have been islamized
wonder why they yeroba Muslims are all over power in SW

It is the non Muslims among them that are daft or else given the history of treachery and treason committed by yaribanza Moslems , same non oyorubanzas Muslims will still be falling for their moslem brethren antics

Yaribanzas!

Yaribanzas are the worst thing on earth

Old and stale news

Everyone should be allowed to practice his religion but any religion that infringe on the right of others will be curbed.

Do Muslims impose curfew and attach people who ignore such illegal curfew? Use your sense nah.

Muslims do far worse.


They impose their religious ways on others such as sharia law, restriction on freedom of worship , impose rammadan fast on non Muslims , ban rearing , selling and consumption of pork.

Muslims are by far the least tolerant bigots on the planet .

Nah you no use sense quote my mention. Though we have more Muslim religion faithful than the tradition religion but that doesn't undermine the fact that Muslim is an imported religion. Oro festival is a native festival.
We must get this fact..
Your id' fitri impose two -three days curfew on our economy and businesses... Nobody quarrel about it. Even your religion is demanding more from the government than other religions...
Pilgrimage to Mecca is also part of the Islamic program ... Governors used tax payers money to fund some of the people pilgrimage to Mecca

Hope you will remember all these too, when they deprive Christians from attending their vigil

Traditional religion demands less from the society and government compare to your rigid religion. You said the traditional religion will deprive Christian from attending vigil ... Fulani herdsmen has killed and deprived a lot of people from their livelihood.... Just in the name of Islamic religion. Which one is better....?

This is what you get when modernity clash withTradition.

The adherents of Traditional Religion need to understand that we are now in the 21st century and the idea that everybody must stay indoors during Oro Festival can no longer hold.
The taboos (including the associated curfew and discriminations against women) during the Oro Festival should be restricted to their adherents.

It's unconstitutional for the members of the Oro cult to be forcing everybody to fear the Oro Masquerade or observe the curfew.
