There appears to be a crack within the ranks of the Yoruba Self-Determination Group, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, as the Deputy President of the group, Wale Adeniran has resigned from his position.

Adeniran’s resignation comes on the heels of the resignation of Maxwell Adeleye, the spokesperson of the group.
