In a statement signed by Sesan Adewusi, a Poet and a foremost leader of Agbekoya Renewal Group has said that Agbekoya will take up the fight if the incessant attack is not stopped within 7 days. He said, “Yoruba people will not hesitate to go to war if kidnapping and killing of innocent people is not stopped within 7 days. The Yorubas are warriors in olden days and the super-natural power bestowed on them is still very intact.”
Sesan Adewusi in his word claimed he was part of the struggle of the Agbekoyas in 1967 and reiterated that the Agbekoya Renewal group is still very vibrant with its activities towards fighting and protecting the Yoruba nation. He stressed further that “Yorubas are not coward; kidnapping traditional rulers in some Yoruba lands by some nonentity is an insult to Yoruba race. The Yorubas are great people that worship God either in Christendom or Islam including our traditional ways of worships but mind you; our supernatural power still live with us. If federal government and state refuse to take action within 7 days, we the Agbekoyas and other Yoruba groups in Yoruba land will take drastic step against militants invading Yoruba towns especially in Lagos killing people and making away with their properties.
Adewusi said the only way Nigerians can continue to live as one in peace is for the government to live up to her responsibility by proffering a lasting solution to incessant ethnic killings in the land. It will be recalled that people of Igbo-Olomu, Elepete; Isawo;Oke-oko in Ikorodu side of Lagos state have been under incessant attacks by Ijaw militants. Also, people living close to the waterways at Igando, Ijannikin; Iyana-Iba and some other areas in Lagos were not spared in the incessant attack.
People residing in Ibafo in Ogun state are part of those recounting their ordeal as militants always invade their home, rape, kill and cart away properties.
