Yoruba World Congress Worldwide (YWC) has enjoined the federal government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to shield any sponsor, sympathiser, negotiator or anyone mentioned in the terrorist/kidnappers network and supply chain.
The group also enjoined the federal government to ensure that anyone mentioned in connection with terrorism is arrested and prosecuted and made to face the full weight of the law to avenge for the victims.
The group made these assertions via a statement signed by the trio of its Vice President, Engineer Adekunle Ogundana, Secretary General, Engineer Stephen Ajayi and Mobilisation Director, J.P Ade.
YWC in the statement made available to DAILY POST Friday evening in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, also described the recent collaboration between Nigeria and United States of America (USA) as a step in right direction.
It described the move as the beginning and the foundation of peace in Nigeria and its borders.
The group further called on the National Assembly to fast-track the passing of the bill for the creation of state police.
It also used the opportunity to call on the Federal Government to review the activities of the scavengers’ scrap collectors/dealers.
The statement said, “The FGN is also advised not to shield any sponsor, sympathiser, negotiator or anyone mentioned in the terrorist/kidnappers network and supply chain. Anyone mentioned in connection with the terrorist must be arrested, publicly prosecuted and made to face the full weight of the law to avenge for the victims.
“We call on the National Assembly to fast-track the passing of the bill for the creation of state police most especially in the South-western states for the safety of life and properties of the Yorubaland and Nigeria in general.
“We also want the Federal Government to review the activities of the scavengers’ scrap collectors/dealers who have also been going about to carry out surveillance and intel gathering for the bandits/terrorists. We are calling on security agencies to fish out unscrupulous elements who are disturbing the peace of the people in Nigeria.
“The Federal Government and all the arms of government should be more proactive in securing lives and properties rather than being reactive, it is not right to wait for the head to be cut off before crying over the hanging and lifeless limbs. We hereby call for the deployment of all necessary security apparatus and personnel to secure the territories with adequate intelligence gathering.
“YWC express their joy on the recent operation, it should continue until Nigeria is safe and free from terrorism, vandalism by militants and extremist groups. Many of the towns/villages have since been deserted due to insecurity.”
