YORUBA IN DIASPORA AFRAID TO COME HOME BECAUSE OF INSECURITY, SAYS OONI OF IFE

The Royal father, who spoke in Yoruba language on behalf of traditional rulers from Osun State, said ”it has gotten to a situation where Yoruba in the Diaspora are afraid to come home, to their relatives or go to where they have property due to the fear of being kidnapped or killed”.

 “Our people are afraid to come home. Due to insecurity, they are afraid to come. That is why they don’t want to come home. How will they visit their relatives and go to where they have property, because of insecurity’, the monarch noted.

“The Governors in the South-West, God will continue to protect you. I want you to make sure that our people are saved. It is God that is our security, we know that you have been trying, but you can still do more. Our people are afraid, they don’t want to come home,” he said.
