Sunday Igboho, Popular Yoruba activist has warned that the Yoruabs will shut down Nigeria if any Yoruba citizen is killed during the June 12 protest.
There are reports that armed soldiers and the police have been deployed to the South-West and South Eastern pats of the country to prevent the planned June 12 protest.
“Soldiers have been put on high alert agaisnts Biafra and Oduduwa Republic agitators. The government is wary of another repeat of #EndSARS and has asked the military to frustrate mass movements and protests by taking over the major roads and conducting aimless stop-and-search,” one of the reports said.
“There are other security reports they are working on, but the bottom-line is that the government is working hard to tighten the noose on the social media and other means of communication particularly on the day, June 12.”
In his reaction, through his media spokesperson Olayomi Koiki, Sunday Igboho called for the support of the South-West Governors asking them to advise their police and soldiers to stay away from protesters.
The broadcast which aired on Facebook earlier today states that, “Let us warn the Federal Government that if there is bloodshed this weekend, the international community is watching. If the military kills any Nigerian this weekend, it is going to be very hot.”
“We will shut down the whole system if there is a single bloodshed. June protest will hold and nothing must happen to any Yoruba indigene.
“Nothing must happen in Yorubaland, if anything happens, we will destroy everything. We have information that the Federal Government has deployed the military to the South-West this weekend, if they try anything, there will be trouble.
“We will ensure the Fulanis leave our land, they have taken over the whole part of the country, they control everything, what we want is self determination.
“We are not just talking about the Fulani in the bush or those who are killing people, we are talking about those who are controlling the country.
“They are tagging us as secessionist, no, we are not, all we have been clamouring for is self-determination.
“South-West Governors, we appreciate you for having left us alone to carry out our rallies but please warn the military not to roll out armoured tanks this weekend. Nothing can stop the Yoruba Nation because it is a country on its own.
“The Yoruba Nation rally will go ahead in every part of Yoruba land and the rest of the country where it will hold. Tell all the Yoruba politicians to return before it is too late, we won’t allow any election to hold in 2023.
“Red alarm will begin on Friday. People should stock up food items from Friday night. No student from South-West should go to school on Friday. Parents, please let your children stay back home.
“We are not backing down this weekend. We are ready to take back what belongs to us. We have tolerated nonsense for too long and now, it must have an end.”
