Oodua Republic: Nigeria Army asks Igboho to get ready for hard tackles
The southwest is about to witness military action as the Oodua secessionist militant leader Sunday Adeyemo barnstorms the Yoruba states declaring sovereignty, and the Nigeria army plans to tackle him.
Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. -Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru stated this in a warning delivered in Uyo at the first Commanding Officers’ Workshop 2021.
Attahiru promised that the army will deal decisively with every form of security threat confronting the nation, including those posed by the secessionist agitators like Igboho.
“The Nigerian Army under my watch remains resolute and is poised more than ever before to decisively deal with individuals or groups that threaten the peace, security and stability of our great nation,” he vowed.
The threat is not directed only to Adeyemo aka Igboho. A Niger Delta ex-militant leader Asari Dokubo is also included.
Confident of his Yorruba traditional powers, Igboho has declared Oodua Republic in the southwest, and Dokubo, too, Biafra Customary Government in the south-south and southeast.
Neither of these agitators have majority support in their region.
