Five Yoruba Nation Agitators

Five Yoruba Nation activists were detained for occupying and seizing Amuludun FM 99.1 of Radio Nigeria in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.

Adewale Osifeso, the state police command’s public relations officer, reportedly said this to reporters on Sunday at the command’s headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan.

The accused, according to him, were Kehinde Bashiru, a lady, and Noah Atoyebi, 30, Gbenga Adeleke, 25, Abdulganiyu Mustafa, 35, and Fajola Elija, 45.

Remember how some young people broke into the station at around 5:40 in the morning, commandeered the airwaves, and declared their secession from the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

Osifeso continued, “The youths hijacked the radio station to announce their secessionist agenda, but police agents rebuffed the agitators’ move.”

No radio station employees or anybody else, according to Osifeso, were wounded as a result of the command’s quick response and well-organized rescue effort.

Therefore, he urged parents and guardians to persuade their kids, wards, and proteges to refrain from disrupting tomorrow’s inauguration ceremony because defaulters and other unpatriotic elements with the same nefarious goals face harsh punishment.

He said, “The preliminary investigations about today (Sunday)’s incident revealed that at about 0600hrs the valiant and eagle-eyed operatives of the command while on intelligence-driven patrols intercepted a distress call about some members of a group driven by a separatist agenda who had forcefully hijacked a radio broadcast station, Amuludun 99.1 FM located around Moniya, Ibadan with the intent to declare liberation from the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Thankfully, no personnel from the establishment or any other person was hurt as the command responded swiftly in a well-coordinated rescue operation.

“I have personally detailed an investigation team led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department to demystify circumstances around the incident and as well expand the network of arrests through thorough, painstaking intelligence-driven investigation.

“While declaring this act as criminal, unpatriotic and a clear case of terrorism which would be meted with adequate sanctions under the laws of the land, I assure good citizens of the state that the security architecture of the command in contact with relevant sister agencies has been strategically modified for optimum effectiveness not only for tomorrow’s (Monday) epoch-making ceremony but beyond.”
