A pan-Yoruba group, ‘Irorun Ile Kaaro-oo-jiire’ says it will explore its spiritual powers to rescue Nigeria from the pangs of insecurity.
The group made the disclosure at a news conference at Obatala temple in Igbotapa area of Ile-Ife on Saturday.
Expressing concern over rising insecurity in the country, the Obalesu Obatala Agbaye, Olaolu Dada, said: “Enough is enough. It is high time we moved to address this security challenge bedeviling our country.
“Let me assure you that the powers used by our forefathers still remain with us and we are ready to use them to deliver ourselves and our people in Nigeria.”
Dada said the group would collaborate with other security agencies to tackle the lingering security challenges in the country.
He, however, noted that the group had nothing to do with politics or the Yoruba nation agitation, but was determined to rise up and fight criminality in the country ‘without the use of gun and cutlasses’.
Reiterating what Dada said, the group’s director of protocol, Adebayo Olusegun, remarked that the organisation would deploy spiritual powers to abate crime in the country.
“We will use spiritual powers to stop crime in Nigeria because we cannot continue to condone criminality anymore,” he said.
Speaking about the group, the group’s traditional secretary, Dotun Hassan, said that ‘Irorun Ile Kaaro-oo-jiire’ stood for unity, peace, and tranquillity of Christians, Muslims, and traditionalists.
Hassan, a legal practitioner, said the group would promote the culture and tradition of the Yoruba and ensure the stability of the nation’s democracy.
He, therefore, called for the support of the federal government, South West governors, royal fathers, philanthropists, traditionalists and other stakeholders for the group to achieve its objectives.
