Yoruba Nation Leader Akintoye Disowns Agitators, Says “No Relationship Whatsoever” With Hijack Of  Ibadan Radio Station

Leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba Nation Self Determination Struggle, Emeritus Professor Banji Akintoye, has condemned the invasion of a radio station in Ibadan by a group claiming to be fighting for the liberation of Yoruba people from Nigeria.

Akintoye, a Senator in Second Republic, asserted that “the Yoruba Self Determination led by me runs a struggle that is totally peaceful and law abiding,“ saying in a statement by his Assistant Director of Programmes, Olatunde Amusat, that the action by the agitating group of attackers is lawless and profoundly criminal.

According to Akintoye  “The attention of the Yoruba Self Determination Movement has been drawn to the activities of a group led by a Woman that has claimed to be running a totally different agenda for Yoruba emancipation and that has been engaging again and again in criminal activity. The group has been warned repeatedly, but has  refused to change.

“We have even written a thirty four page manual to guide our followers and all Yoruba people about peaceful and law abiding self determination struggle. We have written to the outgoing President of Nigeria and to the Secretary General of the United Nations about our legitimate demand for self determination for our  Yoruba nation. We have emphasised in everyone of those letters that our struggle is peaceful and law abiding.

“We have no relationship whatsoever with the group that has repeatedly engaged in crime and we  have no hands in their criminal conduct.“
