The OPC has described the killing of Funke Olakunrin, daughter of the leader of elder statesman Pa Reuben Fasoranti, as one too many in the Southwest.
In a statement by his Media Assistant, Kehinde Aderemi on Saturday, the Aare Onakakanfo said the Yoruba race was not at a loss as to what to do to put a complete stop to the atrocities of the bandits, but had continuously issued statements so as to call the attention of the entire world to the development in the peaceful South West.
He said the Yoruba people are not paper tigers and dogs who can only bark without biting, adding: “We only want the whole world to know what has been done and being done to our people.
“They should be aware of the actions that preceded our reaction when it eventually comes. We are not bereft of ideas of how to stop this criminality on our land.
“It is just so that we should not be blamed when the reaction comes.
“We are like the proverbial goat that it being chased. When it gets to the wall, it will certainly react. We are at that stage now.”
Adams said the Yoruba race had been met over a period of three weeks on the security threat to the people, calling on Governors of the Southwest states to ensure the conclusion of the Security Summit process.
He enjoined all traditional rulers to take bold steps to stamp out killings by bandits in their domains, adding that there should be a process of identifying visitors or new settlers in every community, noting that the leader of the visitors or settlers must be known to the traditional rulers.
He commiserated with Pa Fasoranti, praying God to comfort him and his entire household.
He said: “Papa, this is a very trying time. But it is certain justice will come.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
