Yoruba World Congress Worldwide (YWC) has urged security agencies to fish out the sponsors of Saturday’s attack on the Oyo state government secretariat.
The group made this declaration via a statement made available to newsmen through its Secretary General, Engineer Stephen Ajayi on Wednesday.
Recall that some people who claimed to be Yoruba nation agitators had on Saturday stormed the Oyo state Secretariat in a bid to take over the House of Assembly.
YWC in its reaction, enjoined the security operatives to fish out those who sponsored the attack.
The group noted that the need to arrest the sponsors was necessary in order to serve as a deterrent to others.
“This is to formally inform the general public that the Yorùbá World Congress Worldwide (YWC) dissociates herself from any form of violence or any treasonable acts that could jeopardise the peace and order in Yoruba land, and in Nigeria as a whole.
“Following the invasion of the Oyo State secretariat on the 13th April 2024 by some individuals of Yoruba Nation Agitators, to cause mayhem in Yoruba land and to cause confusion in Nigeria, we see their actions as barbaric and ill advised.
“The Yoruba World Congress Worldwide (YWC), UK, by this open letter, rejects and completely dissociates ourselves from the actions of these individuals.
“To serve as a deterrent to others, we advise that the law enforcement agencies should fish out the sponsors of the criminal elements from their hideouts and bring them to book without delay,” it said.
