Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun has said there is an urgent need to embark on spiritual and physical interventions in a bid to stop the infiltration of terrorists into Southwest and the spate of insecurity in the country.

According to the monarch, the Yorubas need to prepare themselves physically and spiritually against terrorists.

The monarch made this call while playing host to the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, on Tuesday.

Oba Olanipekun who described the rising insecurity in the southwest region as disheartening laid emphasis on the need to engage in some spiritual activities to save the region from evil doers.

He made this point while making reference to the brutal attack on worshippers at a church in Owo, Ondo State.

The Ataoja said the massacre showed that Yorubaland has remained the target of terror groups.

In his words, “I am happy the Aareo Onakakanfo of Yoruba land is here and I want to appeal to him to save our land from these terrorists.

“The Southwest is boiling and it is only when we get ourselves prepared physically and spiritually that we can rid our region of terrorists that have invaded the region.”

In his remarks, Iba Adams said the security challenges in the country needed urgent intervention from all and sundry.

The Yoruba generalissimo assured that the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) under his leadership will do everything to forestall a repeat of the Owo attack.

The Aare, however, advised monarchs to desist from giving prominent and sacred traditional titles to non Yoruba people.

The traditional leader said such act was enough to destroy the sanctity of Yoruba culture and tradition.

“Efforts are on to build a workable synergy between the local security and the government agencies.We are ready to partner with Southwest governors to beef up security.

“Kabiesi should help tell our traditional rulers to save our tradition from going into extinction. The idea of giving prominent Yoruba titles to non Yoruba is at variance with Yoruba culture and tradition”, he complained.
