In a startling revelation following the invasion of the Oyo State House of Assembly and Governor's office, a female suspect, Ayanwale Rofiayat, disclosed promises made by the invasion's sponsors to end her hunger.
The invasion, orchestrated by self-acclaimed Yoruba Nation agitators, prompted a swift response from security forces and condemnation from state officials. Paraded alongside 20 other suspects, Rofiayat detailed the assurances given by the sponsors, including empowerment for her family and a pledge to alleviate their financial struggles.
The suspects, armed with a cache of weapons and Yoruba Nation paraphernalia, were arrested by the Oyo State Police Command. While some suspects expressed defiance, claiming they had no regrets, others denied involvement or affiliation.
The Oyo State Government condemned the invasion as treasonable, while local security teams uncovered additional hideouts of the agitators. Governor Seyi Makinde commended security agencies for their swift response, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace in the state.
Various stakeholders, including the Yoruba Council of Elders and former Deputy National Chairman Bode George, condemned the invasion, labeling it as treason and emphasizing the need for peaceful dialogue. Amidst the controversy, a youth group asserted their legitimacy, asserting their demands for self-determination and independence.
The investigation into the invasion continues as authorities seek to hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
