According to Vanguard, the Yoruba Nation agitators issued a stern warning yesterday, threatening to escalate their actions if security agents do not release their members who raised their flag at the Oyo State House of Assembly. This warning follows the arrest of 21 suspected agitators and the seizure of various weapons by the state Police Command.

In a statement attributed to Deputy Coordinator Victor Adewale, who is reportedly based in Sweden and serves as the European Coordinator of the Oodua Progressive Union (OPU), the agitators demanded the immediate release of their comrades. They also issued warnings to President Bola Tinubu and Governor Seyi Makinde, cautioning them of consequences if their demands are not met.

The statement emphasized the gravity of the situation, suggesting that failure to release the detained agitators could lead to severe repercussions, including potential violence. It underscored the determination of the agitators to pursue their cause relentlessly.

The agitators urged Yoruba people to mobilize and protest en masse, signaling their readiness to challenge authorities until their demands are met. They asserted the existence of an interim government for the Yoruba Nation and reiterated their call for the immediate release of their detained members.

The statement reads: “If Seyi Makinde refuses to release our men that were arrested and makes them sleep in the cell, he has called for war and Bola Tinubu will be greatly affected. The way we will ravage, you won’t all understand.
