Why We Demolish Yoruba Nation Agitators’ Buildings ….. Oyo Govt
OYO State government has urged residents of the state to always report any suspicious act or threatening activity in their vicinity to the appropriate authorities.
Commissioner for Lands, Housing, Survey and Urban Development, Mr William Akin-Funmilayo, stated this while speaking with newsmen at the sites of demolished buildings allegedly belonging to agitators of Yoruba Nation located separately at Shagari area, Toye Oyesola Street, Boluwaji and also at Zone 4, Irorun Oluwa Community, Fatusi Ayegun Road, Odo Dudu area, both in Oluyole Local Government Area, Ibadan.
Recall that the state government had on Tuesday, 16 April 2024 demolished the buildings being used by the agitators of the Yoruba Nation who invaded the state secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan on Saturday, 7 April 2024, following a court order.
This move came a day after 29 suspects were arraigned in court by the police for treasonable felony and other offences.
The Commissioner said: “The demolition was carried out two days ago and was based on Oyo State High Court order. The court order was to the effect that the structure be demolished.
“Residents of the affected areas where the incidents happened appealed to the state government to level the structures to ground zero to prevent hoodlums from using them as hideouts to perpetrate their evil acts.
“Members of the landlords and landladies association, Irorun Oluwa Community said when they noticed strange movements of the agitators on Saturday morning during their association meeting, they called the rescue line 615 to alert the police, adding that the police responded swiftly.”
Meanwhile, according to the Oyo State Police Command, after a series of investigations got a search warrant to examine the content of these buildings.
The search revealed many incriminating items belonging to the splinter group that described themselves as Yoruba nation agitators.
A day after the search, the Oyo state government got a court order for the demolition of the buildings that were described as the hideout for the invaders.
