A traditionalist, the Obalesu Obatala Agbaye, Olaolu Dada, has said his group, “Irorun Ile Kaaro-oo-jiire” will deploy spiritual powers to fight bandits, kidnappers, armed robber and other forms of crimes in Nigerian.
Dada stated this at a news conference at Obatala temple in Igbotapa area of Ile-Ife on Saturday.
He said the pan-Yoruba group, “Irorun Ile Kaaro-oo-jiire” will explore its spiritual powers to provide adequate security of lives and property of Nigerians.
He expressed concerned over what he called rising insecurity in the country, adding that no day could pass without reports of kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery and other forms of insecurity.
“Enough is enough. It is high time we moved to address this security challenge bedeviling our country.
“Let me assure that the powers used by our forefathers still remain with us and we are ready to use them to deliver ourselves and our people in Nigeria,” he said.
Dada said that the group would collaborate with other security agencies to tackle the lingering security challenge in the country.
He, however, stated that the group had nothing to do with politics or Yoruba nation agitation, but was determined to rise up and fight criminality in the country ‘without the use of gun and cutlasses’.
Also speaking, the group’s Traditional Secretary, Mr Dotun Hassan, said that “Irorun Ile Kaaro-oo-jiire” stood for unity, peace and tranquility of Christians, Muslims and traditionalists
