Bode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said on Monday, April 15, that Yoruba Nation agitators who invaded the Oyo State Secretariat committed treason.
Some armed Yoruba nation agitators dressed in army camouflage invaded the premises of Oyo State House of Assembly, Agodi Secretariat, Ibadan. The invaders claimed that a “Democratic Republic of the Yoruba” had been created out of Nigeria during the invasion.
The Nigerian Army claimed that the agitators shot at soldiers drafted to ensure law and order.
Reacting, George expressed his anger over the invasion, stressing that the agitators can’t take up arms against their government.
Featuring on Arise News Programme, Morning Show, George said: “You don’t just go and take up arms against your government, it’s treason. That they called Amotekun and the police is something; if it were people from my old profession, they would have seen them as enemies and fired at them.
“I was completely very angry because that is not the way you talk to your government. What could have driven them into that? My conclusion is that they might not be educated. You don’t take up arms against your nation.
“It’s unimaginable; you brought guns and charms; were they dreaming? It’s unacceptable, it’s the highest breaking of the law of the land. You have your freedom of speech which is the most sensible way to approach this problem. The problem is that this thing never leaked to the intelligence of this nation.
“Agitators carried their weapons in military uniforms, and nobody stopped them on the road; you now see the urgent need for state police because they could not have been meeting somewhere if we are well organized like the state police.”
