Release our detained members, Oyo OPC tells police

The Oyo State Police Command has confirmed that it has in its detention three members of the Odua People’s Congress who were part of the team that arrested notorious Fulani warlord, Iskilu Wakili, on Sunday morning.

The spokesman of the Command, Olugbenga Fadeyi, confirmed this in a statement on Sunday, adding that the Commissioner of Police, Ngozi Onadeko, had swung into action in respect of the case.

The Sector Coordinator of the OPC, Adedeji Oluwole, who led the operation that led to the arrest of Wakili, had raised the alarm that three of his members were arrested by the police.

Fadeyi, offering explanation for the arrest, said: “The State Commissioner of Police has quickly moved into action and preliminary findings revealed that some OPC members went to Kajola community in Ibarapa North Local government Area of Oyo State.

“While there, the house of the Wakili in question was set ablaze, while a female (the identity of who is yet to be ascertained) was burnt in the fire and Wakili (about 75 years old and blind) with two other persons were picked up.

“The three of them are presently in the custody of the Police. The Commissioner of Police has directed that Wakili (due to his frail appearance and state of health), be moved to the Hospital, while others are being interrogated. Others being interrogated are the OPC members, involved in arson and murder.

“Meanwhile, the Oyo State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that any person or group of persons from any region or tribe that has been found culpable to have committed any criminal act (s) in the State would not be spared, but would be arrested and dealt with according to extant laws.

“Therefore, it is worthy of note that the good people of Oyo State and the general public should rest assured that the officers and men in the Command would not derelict in its duty to bring to book criminal elements arrested for any infringement on the laws of the land, as adequate security measures have been put in place against anything untoward while soliciting credible information from members of the public to enable the Police and other Security Agencies clampdown on crime and criminality in the State.”

    This will never have happened in the north, talkless another tribes terrorizing and killing the hausas on their land. Imagine if they had their they wanted to arrest Sunday igboho too then. But they know his arrest will cause damaging havoc. This is time ibarapa people should stand up to fight for the release of this OPC members. Another Endars should be inevitable.

    This cowardly police outfit sitting on their arse while fulani criminals kidnap, rape, and kill with impunity had the audacity to arrest OPC members helping to keep southwestern communities safe and peacefull. It’s also in this same Oyo state police command that a crooked DPO grabbed Ak47 and shot at Amotekun operatives.
    It’s time the entire Yoruba nation take ownership of the security of our nation and be ready to confront crooked errand boys in the police service. For daring to arrest the OPC members, every police formation in Oyo state should be placed under siege by the people of Oyo state. Nobody/nothing should be allowed in or out of all the police formations until the OPC members are released, and the Oyo state commissioner of police duly apologise to the OPC members and the Yoruba nation at large.

    The Nigerian Police force is a joke. Most are criminals hiding behind their badges to commit crimes. From the top officer to the bottom are bunch of losers and criminals.

    Farmers are being killed by the notorious Fulani Herders, and the NP looked the other way. They are only fast tracking the inauguration of the Federal Republic of Oduduwa. Recall their role in OSUN POLLS. They forgot so soon EndSars.

    Dis is begging d question. D police were aware of d crimes nd atrocities being committed by Iskilu nd his men in ibarapa. Yet no action was taken for a long time, but citizens now effecting lawful arrests as set in our constitution are now arrested nd being questioned like common criminals, but d real killer criminal who encroached illegally on others rights nd lands is being feted nd treated at govt expense in our hospital. WHAT A STATE. WHAT A POLICE FORCE. WHAT A COUNTRY.
