Ooni of Ife Sounds Alarm on Bandit Incursions into Southwest Nigeria, Vows Unyielding Resistance and Calls for Unity Behind President Tinubu to Safeguard National Stability

 In a resolute declaration that has galvanized traditional leaders, political figures, and citizens across Nigeria, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ife, has confirmed intelligence reports of bandits and terrorist elements gradually infiltrating the Southwest region, while affirming the area’s ironclad commitment to confront and expel these threats “headlong.” Speaking candidly on Channels Television’s Politics Today program on November 28, 2025, the custodian of the Yoruba throne emphasized that the Southwest – long a bastion of hospitality and cultural harmony – stands ready to defend its sovereignty, drawing on historical precedents of resilience dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Ooni’s remarks, delivered in the wake of a high-stakes meeting between the Southern Governors’ Forum and the Southern Traditional Rulers Council in Iperu-Remo, Ogun State, underscore a strategic alliance aimed at fortifying regional defenses against the southward creep of insecurity that has plagued Nigeria’s North for years. Hosted by Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun, the gathering – attended by governors, obas, and security experts – focused squarely on intelligence-driven responses to banditry, insurgency, and communal vulnerabilities. Oba Ogunwusi revealed that the forum had resolved to bolster local structures, including community vigilance networks and traditional security apparatuses, to monitor and neutralize incursions before they take root.

“Yes, we have discovered that, and that’s the truth,” the Ooni stated unequivocally when pressed on reports of terrorists and bandits edging into Yoruba territories. “It has happened in the past. In the 18th Century, in the 17th Century; we have actually done that. We’ve never been conquered, and it’s not going to happen again.” He lamented the erosion of Nigeria’s once-seamless inter-regional mobility, recalling an era when “Nigerians travelled freely across regions without fear of banditry,” and warned that the Southwest’s accommodating nature – a melting pot of ethnic groups from across the federation – poses both a strength and a vulnerability in the face of orchestrated threats. “For both the race and our people, there is much danger because we are very accommodating. In any Yoruba setting, you will see people from all ethnic groups in Nigeria within the South West region.”

In a clarion call for national cohesion, Oba Ogunwusi urged all Nigerians to transcend partisan divides and rally behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration in its multifaceted campaign against insecurity. “We need to support him to save Nigeria; it’s very important,” he implored, decrying the politicization of the crisis as a perilous distraction. “You condemn this leader, you condemn that leader… We should not sink the nation because of politics. Nigeria’s interest should be paramount.” The monarch highlighted the administration’s proactive measures, including the rehabilitation of police and NSCDC training colleges, and called for expanded zonal security funds to empower regional initiatives. The Southern Governors’ Forum echoed this sentiment in their communique, passing a resounding vote of confidence in President Tinubu and pledging full collaboration between traditional institutions, state governments, and federal security agencies.

The Ooni’s intervention arrives at a critical juncture, as Nigeria grapples with the southward migration of bandit networks – loosely organized groups estimated at 30,000 strong in the Northwest, blending criminality with jihadist influences from groups like JAS, ISWAP, and Ansaru. Recent incidents, including the November 21, 2025, kidnapping of 38 worshippers in Eruku, Kwara State (who were subsequently released), and targeted attacks in Kwara and Niger States, signal the porous borders’ role as conduits for smuggling and violence. Intelligence from the meeting points to heightened risks in border communities, where Fulani herder-farmer disputes have been exploited by armed gangs for extortion, abductions, and territorial control.

Traditional rulers from the South, including the Ooni, affirmed their role as the “first line of defense,” leveraging centuries-old intelligence networks rooted in Yoruba cosmology and community governance. “The traditional institution would collaborate with political leaders to make Nigeria better for all,” Oba Ogunwusi affirmed, vowing to “drive away bandits, others from S’West.” This unified stance builds on historical Yoruba resistance, from the repelling of 19th-century Fulani jihads to modern civic mobilizations, ensuring that the region’s cultural and economic vibrancy – home to over 40 million people and Nigeria’s industrial heartland – remains unassailable.

Governor Dapo Abiodun, speaking post-meeting, praised the Ooni’s leadership: “His Imperial Majesty’s words are a rallying cry. The Southwest is not just aware; we are action-oriented. With federal support, we’ll turn the tide.” Similarly, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, a key attendee, added: “Unity is our shield. The Ooni’s wisdom reminds us that security is a shared patrimony – from Ife to Ibadan, we’ll stand firm.”

Civil society and security analysts have lauded the proactive approach. Dr. Aisha Yusuf, Director of the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Ibadan, noted: “The Ooni’s confirmation of these incursions validates grassroots intelligence often overlooked. This partnership between obas and governors could redefine Nigeria’s security architecture.” On social media, #DefendTheSouthWest trended nationwide, with users sharing historical anecdotes of Yoruba valor and pledges of communal vigilance.

As Nigeria marks another year of resilience amid adversity, the Ooni of Ife’s message resonates as both warning and war cry: the Southwest will not yield. Through collective resolve, technological edge, and unyielding tradition, the nation can reclaim its peace – ensuring that no bandit or insurgent disrupts the free flow of its people and prosperity.

Former President Obasanjo Declares Nigerians ‘Tired of Being Killed,’ Urges End to Negotiations with Terrorists and Calls for International Intervention to Tackle Escalating Insecurity

In a impassioned address that has ignited national discourse, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has lambasted the current Nigerian government’s handling of the country’s spiraling insecurity, declaring that Nigerians are “tired of being killed” and have every right to seek assistance from the international community if the state fails in its primary duty to protect its citizens. Speaking at the 2025 Plateau Unity Christmas Carol and Praise Festival at the Ten Commandments Prayer Altar in Dwei-Du, Jos South Local Government Area, Obasanjo called for an immediate halt to negotiations with bandits and terrorists, emphasizing that modern technology now makes it inexcusable for criminals to evade justice.

The event, organized by the Plateau State Government and attended by a constellation of dignitaries including retired General Lawrence Onoja, former Governors Joshua Dariye and Jonah Jang, former Minister of Women Affairs Dame Pauline Tallen, former Adamawa Governor Boni Haruna, retired Chief of Defence Staff General Martin Luther Agwai, and Major General Folorunsho Oyinlola (GOC 3 Division), served as a poignant platform for unity, healing, and reconciliation amid ongoing violence in the region. Thousands of worshippers, religious leaders, traditional rulers, and security officials gathered under the theme of Christmas praise, offering fervent prayers for peace in Plateau State and Nigeria at large.

Obasanjo, who led Nigeria as President from 1999 to 2007, pulled no punches in his critique, recalling the infamous 2014 Chibok schoolgirls’ abduction as a grim benchmark from which insecurity has only worsened. “Since the kidnapping of the Chibok girls, it has continued to go from bad to worse,” he stated. “The first responsibility of any government is the protection and security of its citizens, but our government seems to be incapable of protecting us. We are being killed – Nigerians, no matter what religion you belong to, no matter where you come from, no matter your profession. We are tired of being killed.”

Highlighting the indiscriminate nature of the violence, Obasanjo rejected attempts to frame the crisis through ethnic or religious lenses, insisting that “every Nigerian life matters, whether Christian, Muslim, or pagan.” He decried the daily loss of lives to bandits, terrorists, and abductions, urging the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to deploy advanced tools like drones – capabilities that were nascent during his own tenure – to track and neutralize threats without apology or hesitation. “In these days of technology, there should be nobody who can hide after committing a crime,” he asserted. “Before I left government, we had the capacity to pick up anybody in Nigeria once identified… Now, with drones, it’s even easier.”

In a bold escalation, the elder statesman explicitly called for an end to what he described as counterproductive “negotiations and apologies” with terrorists. “We should appeal to our government to do what needs to be done to stop Nigerians being killed,” Obasanjo implored. “Stop negotiating with them. Take decisive action.” He further empowered citizens by affirming Nigeria’s place in the global community: “If our government cannot do it, we have the right to call on the international community to do for us what our government cannot do for us. We owe no one an apology for that.”

Obasanjo’s remarks come against a backdrop of heightened insecurity, with recent reports documenting over 500 deaths in Plateau State alone this year from farmer-herder clashes, banditry, and terror attacks. Nationwide, the crisis has displaced millions, crippled economies in the North, and eroded public trust in security institutions. His words echo a growing chorus of frustration from civil society, religious bodies, and opposition figures, who argue that the government’s strategies – including controversial peace deals and ransom payments – have emboldened perpetrators rather than deterring them.

Reflecting on his administration’s relative success in curbing militancy through a mix of military resolve and economic incentives, Obasanjo shared a personal anecdote from a recent conversation with Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, known for his engagements with bandits. “After visiting their hideouts, Sheikh Gumi told me the same thing: we must stop this nonsense,” Obasanjo revealed, underscoring a rare bipartisan consensus on the need for unyielding enforcement.

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State, who invited Obasanjo as a special guest, hailed the former president’s intervention as a “clarion call for action.” In his opening remarks, Mutfwang emphasized the festival’s role in fostering interfaith harmony, stating, “In the face of adversity, we choose praise and unity. Baba Obasanjo’s wisdom reminds us that security is a collective imperative.”

Reactions from across the political spectrum have been swift and varied. Civil rights activist and Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi echoed Obasanjo’s sentiments on social media, posting: “The former President’s words are a wake-up call. Insecurity is not inevitable; it’s a failure of will. We must act now – decisively, without negotiation or excuse.” 10 Prominent lawyer Femi Fani-Kayode, however, offered a more nuanced take, agreeing on the government’s lapses but cautioning against selective empathy: “Obasanjo is right that we practice selective outrage based on region or faith, but let’s not forget external hands stoking the flames.” 11

The Obasanjo Centre for African Studies, in a statement, reaffirmed the elder statesman’s commitment to pan-African solutions: “Baba’s lifetime of service compels him to speak truth to power. Nigeria’s insecurity is Africa’s shared burden, but the solution starts at home – with resolve, technology, and unity.”

As Nigeria grapples with this existential threat, Obasanjo’s address stands as a pivotal moment, blending moral authority with pragmatic counsel. The nation watches, and the world listens, for the decisive steps that will restore safety to its people.

Today, we stand with great honor and deep respect to present this message to His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Rt. Hon. Barr. Caleb Mutfwang.
