The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria
Yoruba Nation arrowhead, Prof Banji Akintoye, has said that the Federal Government won’t descend so low to outlaw his Yoruba Nation separatist group.
Adeleye told our correspondent that Ilana Omo Oodua was not a terrorist group but a peaceful self-determination association with a belief in referendum and sensitisation through rallies. “If the government proscribes us, we are going to challenge it in the court of law because we have committed no offence. It is an organisation that believes in peaceful agitation for self-determination. We even released a manual on peaceful agitation for self-determination as authored by our Leader, Emeritus Professor Banji Akintoye.
The spokesman for Akintoye also said the group had no association with the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra led by detained Nnamdi Kanu and does not believe in the sit-at-home order issued by the group in the South-East.
