Africa: O’odua group calls for unity with Biafrans to fight against impending invasion by ISWAP, ISIS

Apapo O’odua Koya, (AOKOYA) has called on people in the South West to unite with Igbos and people of the South South to mobilise indigenous resources in order to resist the impending invasion by Islamic State of West Africa, ISIS and others.

The O’odua group in a statement signed by Col. Abiodun Sowumi (rtd) and Ahmed Akorede on Saturday, said that AOKOYA was vindicated by the recent statement by the United States, AFRICOM official Dagvin Anderson, stressed that its group had made the revelation three years back indicating that hundreds of armed cells built by alien armed groups are spread across Yorubaland.

AOKOYA went further to urge the Yoruba people to work with South South and Igbo South East and forget the bitter rivalry.

According to AOKOYA, “they have sleeping cells spread across Yorubaland and the entire South. We should not delude ourselves that we cannot be conquered. The only way to avoid conquest is to make adequate preparations before it is too late.”

“AOKOYA was the first to reveal the presence of armed cells across Yorubaland. Our intelligence department revealed this reality and we alerted Yoruba Nation and the world. The revelation by the US intelligence through Anderson, only confirmed what we said three years ago”.

“This has nothing to do with Christianity or Islam. It has to do with the survival of Yoruba people, our values and our civilisation. We have already been warned enough by reliable sources. If Yoruba people doubted AOKOYA intelligence report three years ago, there is no reason to doubt the US report. ISIS has penetrated Yorubaland.

“The armed groups have been importing arms into Yorubaland hiding such in trailers bringing food to Southern States. Most of the bank robberies and raid of banks in Yorubaland were being perpetrated by Islamic terrorists working with armed Fulani herdsmen and Miyetti Allah.

“There should be unity of purpose between the Igbo, Yoruba and people of the South South. The fundamentalists are targeting Lagos and Port Harcourt as their most strategic towns. They want to take over the two cities and cut off the rest of Southern Nigeria. The unfortunate thing is that they have active supporters in the Nigeria Armed forces.

“They also receive huge funds from two Islamic Nations. The fundamentalists also consider pushing Nigeria into mayhem during which they and their supporters in the Armed forces would stage a military coup in Nigeria and take over the country under the guise that democracy has failed in Nigeria and only a “revolution” will safe Nigeria.

“We have enough network across the world to confirm that military coup is one of the options being considered by the fundamentalists.

“This consideration for military coup by extremists is one of the reasons why their supporters in the armed forces sabotage the Army and make it difficult for the war against Boko Haram to succeed. They need crisis to continue in Nigeria for them to justify staging an Islamic extremist group whose coming will be received as Messiah by naive and ignorant Nigerians”. The statement concludes.
