Browsing: Emeritus Professor Banji Akintoye

Recall that Yoruba Nation agitators had held rallies in different parts of South-West with that of Lagos scheduled for Saturday.

The group also claimed that the gunmen attacked the daughter-in-law of its leader Akintoye last Saturday night at her residence in Agbor, Delta State.

Hundreds of members of the group whose leader is an 86-year-old Emeritus Professor of History, Banji Akintoye, had initially scheduled the take-off of the rally for the ancient Mapo Hall but the heavy presence of armed policemen forced them to change the venue.

The Co-Founders – Dr. Amos Akingba, Akogun Tola Adeniyi, Chief Solagbade Popoola and Prof. Anthony Kila – under the Leaders Council, issued the threat after a group declared Akintoye as the substantive leader of the YWC.
