(VIDEO) SECURITY OPERATIVES IN IBARAPA ARREST NOTORIOUS FULANI WARLORD, ISKILU WAKILI TERRORIZING OYO COMMUNITIES

Reports indicate that a combined team of security operatives in Ibarapa, including Oodua Peoples Congress, Vigilante, and other groups have arrested the notorious Fulani warlord terrorising Oyo communities, Iskilu Wakili.


This comes exactly one week after security operatives nabbed Wakili's second-in-command, Isiaka Muhammadu, alongside four others.


It was gathered that Wakili was arrested after an intense gun duel with security operatives following credible intelligence that the warlord and his gang were involved in the killings and kidnappings of several people in Ibarapa and Oke Ogun communities, Oyo State.




Confirming the development in a statement, the AareOna Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, said the Fulani warlord was arrested on Sunday around 7am and has been handed over to the Divisional Police Office in Igbo-Ora, Oyo State.


Adams, who applauded OPC, Ibarapa joint security team over the arrest of Wakili, described him as the ‘most-dreaded, notorious kidnap kingpin’ who has operated in Oyo State.

Adams said, “I am happy that the notorious kidnapper had been captured alongside three others. It is a good development and a positive signal to other criminal elements that the South-West is no longer an abode for bandits, kidnappers, and criminal herders.


“I commend all the members of the joint security team that has made this possible because with the video at my disposal, it was purely a neat job.


“With this development, I think the whole world will agree with me that the fight against insurgency, kidnapping, and banditry needs native intelligence, information gathering, and grassroots support from local securities and operatives.


“As I have said earlier that the effort to rid the South-West of bandits and kidnappers was to complement the efforts of the police and in doing that, it is also very important for the police to support the local security operatives because they are always at the grassroots and they have their ears to the ground on local security matters.”
