Security agencies have been urged to fish out the sponsors of Saturday’s attack on the Oyo state government secretariat by the Yoruba World Congress Worldwide (YWC).
The group, through its Secretary General, Engineer Stephen Ajayi, made the call in a statement on Wednesday.
The group noted that the arrest of the individuals behind the act will serve as warning to others with the similar intention.
“This is to formally inform the general public that the Yorùbá World Congress Worldwide (YWC) dissociates herself from any form of violence or any treasonable acts that could jeopardise the peace and order in Yoruba land, and in Nigeria as a whole.
“Following the invasion of the Oyo State secretariat on the 13th April 2024 by some individuals of Yoruba Nation Agitators, to cause mayhem in Yoruba land and to cause confusion in Nigeria, we see their actions as barbaric and ill advised.
“The Yoruba World Congress Worldwide (YWC), UK, by this open letter, rejects and completely dissociates ourselves from the actions of these individuals.
“To serve as a deterrent to others, we advise that the law enforcement agencies should fish out the sponsors of the criminal elements from their hideouts and bring them to book without delay,” it said.
We earlier reported that twenty-nine arrested Yoruba Nation Agitators were arraigned before a magistrate court in Ibadan on Wednesday.
