One of the leaders of Agbekoya in Nigeria, Mr Olomowewe Akeem, on Tuesday, revealed that it was the men of the group that rescued the Baale of Araromi, Chief Mustapha Apanpa, who was recently abducted at his village.
He said the police are taking glory of their hard work in rescuing victims and combating crime without giving them credit.
He asked the governor of the state, Engr. Seyi Makinde, to empower Yoruba militants such as Odu’a Peoples Congress, Agbekoya, Peace movement of Nigeria and other groups to fish out bandits in the forests.
Olomowewe who spoke with Eko Trust in Ibadan on Tuesday said, “About eight days ago, we were in the forest in search of the Baale of Araromi via Omi Adio in Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State and his wife. Our people, including female fighters, stormed the forest and rescued them”.
