The O’dua Peoples Congress, OPC,
has warned kidnappers and herdsmen engaged in criminal activities in parts of
the South-West to stop or incur their wrath.
OPC gave the warning in a
statement issued in Lagos at the weekend by its President, Aare Prince Osibote.
He warned kidnappers and herdsmen
to stop their criminal activities in the South-West or they will be forced to
vacate.
OPC urged South-West residents
not to panic, adding that it was ready to flush out the kidnappers, and
herdsmen abducting innocent Nigerians from their hide-outs.
Osibote said, “Enough is enough.
“Yoruba are peace-loving and
hospitable. We welcome everybody with open arms, but the OPC will not allow any
individual or group to make the South-West unsafe or turn the region into a den
of criminals.
“Time is up for these criminals
abducting people. This is the final warning to them, they should stop now, or
relocate elsewhere outside the South-West. If they fail to do so, they will
soon meet their Waterloo.
“We are watching the unfolding
ugly developments with keen interests.
“Yoruba and other residents in
the South-West should not panic. We are, however, calling on the Federal
Government to quickly address this insecurity problem before it further
degenerates.
“OPC leaders will not watch
helplessly or fold their hands while some criminals are making life difficult
for our people, and are behaving as if they are above the law,” he declared.
He maintained that OPC as an
organization was committed to unity, peace and harmony among Nigerians, but
decried a situation where some criminals have constituted themselves into
menace against innocent citizens.
