Police paraded suspects responsible for the clash, disturbance of public peace and mayhem in Ile-Ife during the week.
Some notable Yoruba persons have before now, lamented that no Hausa/Fulani origin was paraded among the suspects, describing the arrest of suspected persons as onesided.
In a communiqué issued at the end of its inaugural meeting and read to newsmen in Akure on Thursday by its Ondo State Chairperson, Miss Ewatomilola Owoeye, YYC condemned the action of the police.
YYC also noted that the recent arrests by the police was one sided.
It said, “We observed those paraded at the force headquarters are Yoruba; there was no Hausa /Fulani among those who were paraded.
“We are urging the police to with immediate effect transfer those who were arrested to Osun where the incident occurred.
“We are also urging the police to conduct proper investigation so as not to arrest innocent Nigerians,” she said.
Where is aregbesola? He can't fight for his people.
ReplyDeleteHe still belongs to hausa fulani side. Yoruba's are being arrested. The Hausa's are walking free
No be Oyó state Ile-Ife dey? Dem no get YYC for Oyo State???
ReplyDeleteOsun state not Oyo State.
DeleteBesides it doesn't matter. They are brothers. What should matter to you is that Buhari's government is too bias in judgement
This people how many Yoruba's were killed? ?????. Somebody should compare with number of Hausa's who were killed. You guys shouldn't be gulible and bias
ReplyDeleteIf you're going by this narrow minded narrative, can you please campare how many southern Kaduna indigenes have been killed so far compared with the fulani herdsmen.
DeleteHow many Fulani herdsmen have been arrested for dis. Also compare with the arrest of southern Kaduna imdigenes.
It looks as if justice is now the soul right of a particular section of the nation.
Not supporting the crisis that occurred in any form, but the right thing must be done in order to prevent future occurrence. Remember the popular saying that it takes two to tango. Because one side was more on d receiving end doesn't mean there was absolutely no input from the other side that led to a complete breakdown of law and order.
It is only in Nigeria that two people will be fighting and only one will be arrested for disturbing public peace, despite the fact that it takes two to tango. Once your adversary is Hausa/Fulani, only you will be deemed to have broken the law.
ReplyDeleteIf Mrs Bridget who was killed in Kano had been a Hausa/Fulani woman, would the Police have withdrawn the case from court?
We have a very very long way to go in Nigeria if we really still want to remain as One Nation.
