Yorubaland, a no-go area •OPC, Afenifere leaders warn Boko Haram

Leader of Odua Peoples Congress (OPC), Dr Fredrick Faseun, on Friday, dismissed insinuations that the Boko Haram sect will attack Yorubaland, assuring that such fear should not be of serious concern.
Faseun’s assertion  was also buttressed by the publicity secretary of  the pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Mr Yinka Odumakin, who wondered why the sect would make an attempt to overrun a race that never had territorial ambition, but had always been willing to accommodate people of every race.
Dr Faseun declared that his group was ready in case Boko Haram attacked Yorubaland, saying: “I know Boko Haram will not overrun Yorubaland, that is nothing of serious concern.
The OPC leader, who said security was the concern of every group and individual in the land, urged Yoruba to assist the organisation with their support.
According to him, the feat the OPC recorded so far came about with little or no financial support from the people, declaring that the body was capable of safeguarding and protecting the race at any time with the backing of God.
Speaking on the issue, Odumakin expressed worries that the fear of possible Boko Haram attack had been imminent for more than a year and had almost become a psychological warfare until the recent discovery at abandoned Bayelsa Government Lodge in Lagos.
He insisted that proper investigation should be conducted into the matter ascertain the involvement of the group behind it, “because lately, every group is masquerading as Boko Haram.”
