OPC blows hot, issues final warning to herdsmen, kidnappers in Yoruba
land
The O’dua Peoples
Congress, OPC, has warned kidnappers and herdsmen engaged in criminal
activities in parts of the South-West to stop or incur their wrath.
OPC gave the
warning in a statement issued in Lagos at the weekend by its President, Aare
Prince Osibote.
He warned
kidnappers and herdsmen to stop their criminal activities in the South-West or
they will be forced to vacate.
OPC urged
South-West residents not to panic, adding that it was ready to flush out the
kidnappers, and herdsmen abducting innocent Nigerians from their hide-outs. Osibote said,
“Enough is enough.
“Yoruba are
peace-loving and hospitable. We welcome everybody with open arms, but the OPC
will not allow any individual or group to make the South-West unsafe or turn
the region into a den of criminals.
“Time is up for
these criminals abducting people. This is the final warning to them, they
should stop now, or relocate elsewhere outside the South-West. If they fail to
do so, they will soon meet their Waterloo.
“We are watching
the unfolding ugly developments with keen interests.
“Yoruba and other
residents in the South-West should not panic. We are, however, calling on the
Federal Government to quickly address this insecurity problem before it further
degenerates.
“OPC leaders will
not watch helplessly or fold their hands while some criminals are making life
difficult for our people, and are behaving as if they are above the law,” he
declared.
He maintained that
OPC as an organization was committed to unity, peace and harmony among
Nigerians, but decried a situation where some criminals have constituted
themselves into menace against innocent citizens.
