By our reporter| Oyo State Police Command on Tuesday released the three members of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) who were detained for their role in the arrest of Fulani warlord, Abdullah Iskilu Wakili.
The three OPC members, Dauda Kazeem, Awodele Adedigba, and Ramon Hassan were detained on Sunday, shortly after the OPC handed over Wakili, to the police.
The captured Wakili, a Fulani herdsman, was accused of masterminding a series of attacks, killings, and kidnappings cases in Ibarapa area of Oyo state.
The Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, shortly after the release of the OPC members, said the detention of the three gallant men became public issue because of the circumstances surrounding their arrest and detention, as well as the notorious kidnapper Wakili.
“It is most important news is that the police had released our men in their custody, and it is great. I want appreciate everybody that have raised their voices against the unjust detention, including well-meaning Nigerians, public opinion experts, socio-cultural groups, such as Afenifere, Yoruba Summit Group (YSG), and the media for their support while the situation lasts, and I want to assure Nigerians that the OPC will continue to support and complement the efforts of all security agencies, including the police in ensuring that the south west is safe,” the statement read.
