Alaafin laments release of arrested Fulani kidnappers by police

The Alaafin Of Oyo State, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi has lamented, the way the police treat some cases involving some suspected criminals who are Fulani.

The monarch, on Monday, when Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abduraheed Akanbi visited in his palace, said some Fulani persons who were arrested for kidnapping and handed over to the police were released in controversial circumstances.

Oba Lamidi said The system is no more working. Nigeria’s system of government is failing most especially on security, adding that Nigeria is under a weak system, so Security should not be under an exclusive legislative list.

“We have put machinery in place and arrested many kidnappers who are Fulanis. We handed them to the police but many of them were later released. This calls for sober reflection.”

The Oluwo had earlier tasked the Alaafin to do everything to bring Yoruba Obas under one umbrella, also advised those calling for the Yoruba Nation should involve the Federal Legislator in their Zone, this will convince people that they need a new nation on their own.

Oluwo said, “Nigeria was created by the sacrifices of our forefathers. They committed their lives to nurture the baby from infancy to this time. The baby has matured with an ailing soul. We all acknowledge there is a problem, but must we throw away a child with the bathwater?”

“The failure and disunity among Yoruba monarchs are disturbing. It has given some Yoruba sons and daughters the opportunities to abuse their monarchs on social media”

“Unarguably, the state of the nation is fragile and very delicate. Dividing Nigeria at this critical time is a loss to the Yorubaland. We can’t go back to start afresh after years of sacrifices”

He advised the Yoruba to concentrate their energy on ensuring that Yoruba produces the next president that understands and can address our weaknesses.”
