Akintoye, leader of Yoruba Nation agitators disowns invaders of Amuludun FM Radio, Ibadan

Leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba Nation self-determination group, Prof. Banji Akintoye, has condemned early Sunday morning’s invasion of Amuludun FM Radio at Moniya, Ibadan.

The station was attacked by some persons suspected to be members of the Yoruba Nation agitators.

Akintoye, in a statement made available by his Assistant Director of Programmes, Olatunde Amusat, on Sunday evening, described the invasion as  “criminal and breach of public peace.”

The statement reads: “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.

“The Yoruba Self Determination led by me runs a struggle that is totally peaceful and law abiding.

“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 every one of those letter 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.”
