Yoruba Nation: Osun Tightens Security After Secessionists Invaded Oyo Govt Offices
In the wake of the recent invasion of government buildings in neighboring Oyo State by masked armed men claiming to represent the Yoruba Nation, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has issued a stern warning to secessionist groups in the South West region.
Adeleke also directed his security adviser, Mr. Samuel Ojo, to immediately mobilise joint security teams to secure the Osun State Government Secretariat, the Governor’s Office, and other strategic government buildings, including the headquarters of the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC).
THE WHISTLER reported how the Oyo State Governor’s Office, House of Assembly, and State Secretariat were breached and the Yoruba Nation flag was briefly hoisted before the perpetrators were arrested by the combined efforts of the Nigerian military and police on Saturday.
In a statement released on Sunday, Adeleke called for a rededication to the ideals of a united Nigeria and warned secessionist agitators to abandon their violent tactics.
