Allow Sunday Ogboho To Act, He Can Help Rescue Oriire Abducted Children, Teachers – Oluwo Agbaye

Chief Olayiwola Bankole Adisa, popularly known as Oluwo Agbaye, has called on government authorities to allow Yoruba nation activist, Chief Sunday Igboho, to contribute to efforts aimed at tackling insecurity and securing the release of abducted schoolchildren in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The traditional leader made the appeal during an exclusive interview with Daily Independent Reporter while discussing the recent kidnapping incident that has sparked concern across Oyo State and beyond.

Recall that Chief Igboho recently lamented that he has all that it takes to go rescue the abducted children and teachers but he is restricted as he has not been permitted by the state government to go get the victims.

According to him, the growing insecurity facing communities requires collaboration among all individuals and groups capable of contributing to public safety.

“My advice to the government is to allow Sunday Igboho to carry out his duty as a Yoruba man. He is capable of helping in this situation,” he said.

Oluwo Agbaye argued that the activist has, over the years, demonstrated a willingness to confront security threats affecting parts of the South-West.

“The whole world would support him if given the chance,” he added.

The traditional leader lamented what he described as obstacles placed before individuals seeking to contribute to community security.

“But will he be allowed to act freely? If not, we may reach a point where we cannot even go to churches or mosques safely.”

He also called on Yoruba people to avoid internal divisions and political rivalries that could undermine collective efforts to address insecurity.

“God has given us the ability to do great things, but some people are hindering efforts to secure our land. There are many people willing to support efforts against insecurity, but they need leadership.”

Oluwo Agbaye further urged authorities to explore every lawful avenue available to secure the release of the abducted Oriire children, stressing that the welfare and safety of the victims should remain the highest priority.

He concluded with a warning against excessive publicity during security operations.

“Whenever we are planning security operations or rescue missions, we should not turn it into a media spectacle. We should do things in secrecy and avoid social media interference. Yoruba people should hold serious meetings without cameras or publicity,” he said.
