Why Yoruba Monarchs Are Silent On Igboho’s House Raid

Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi
Oluwo of Iwo, Ọba AbdulRasheed Akanbi, has opened up on why most monarchs in Yoruba land are mute over the raid on the home of Oduduwa Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, by operatives of the Department of State Services.
Igboho, who is a promoter of the Yoruba Nation, has gone underground following the invasion last Thursday, during which the secret police said it killed two persons and arrested 13.
The monarch, in an interview with BBC Yoruba, said many of the monarchs were in support of Igboho’s agitation against killer herdsmen.
He, however, complained that the Yoruba rights activist ignored some of their warnings.
Oluwo also said Sunday Igboho was cautioned about the manner he was agitating for Yoruba Nation but he failed to adjust.
He also accused Sunday Igboho and other agitators of the Yoruba Nation of not consulting with Yoruba monarchs properly.
According to him, the fight for the Yoruba Nation will be more productive with the inputs of the traditional rulers.
Oba Rasheed also said many monarchs kept silent over the DSS raid on Igboho’s home because he earlier abused some respected traditional rulers that could easily defend him against “external attacks”.
Oluwo, who spoke in Yoruba, said, “They forgot that the king superintends over everything and government has a duty to secure its citizens.
“The government cannot fold its hands again and allow a repeat of what happened during #EndSARS.
“We must be diplomatic with our demands. We cannot get our demand by fighting the government. Instead, we can negotiate and dialogue with the government.”
