The Oyo state Coordinator of the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, Mr. Rotimi Olumo has called on the Nigerian police to release its men immediately or face a crisis.
It will be recalled that some OPC operatives were arrested after they captured a Notorious Fulani Herdsman, Iskilu Wakili for allegedly being behind several killings and Kidnappings in the state.
During an interview with Punch, Olumo expressed disappointment at the development adding that the OPC only got involved to help the police do their job.
He also described reports that the OPC burnt Wakili’s house as ‘False’ adding that some members of Wakili’s gang came back to burn the house in order to implicate the OPC operatives
“The suspects have caused much pain to the people of Ibarapaland. Remember that Dr Fatai Aborode was killed there and many others. The police didn’t do anything about it. The police are now asking who our men took order from before going to capture Wakili.”
“Who did Wakili take order from before terrorising Ibarapa people? Did the police give him the order to terrorise the innocent people? They said police should have followed them but we know that many policemen are work with criminals.”
“If we told the police, they would have leaked the secret to Wakili and the operation would have been futile. That is the problem we are facing in Yorubaland. But if they do not release our men they arrested, there will be crisis.”
