Ogun traditional worshippers ready to tackle Killer herdsmen, bandits

As the nation searches for a lasting solution to the myriad of security challenges facing it, traditionalists in Ogun State have expressed their readiness to put an end to killings, kidnapping, and banditry in Yorubaland.

But, leaders of the traditionalists in Ogun State say they have what it takes to save the state and Yorubaland from the security quagmire.

The traditional worshippers believe the South West region got it wrong when it placed so much preference on “Western religions”, ignoring the religion of the African society.

Speaking in an interview in Abeokuta, the Olu Isese of Ogun State, Dr. Ifarotimi Adifagbola, disclosed that there are many deities that could be called upon to rise for the defense of the Yoruba race.

In his words, the Oba Isegun of Obada, Chief Ololade Sunday, emphasized that no bandit would be able to wreak havoc in the entire Yoruba land if traditionalists are allowed to employ spiritual powers in confronting them.

Sunday stated that the killing of Yorubas could only happen in communities where the monarchs have no regard for tradition.
