Afenifere youth condemns attack on IGP, Yoruba office holders

Afenifere Youth Coalition has condemned the relentless campaign of calumny against the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun and other Yoruba public office holders by the publisher of SaharaReporters, Omoyele Sowore.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, the coordinator of the group, Adebayo Salami, said Sowore’s attack on the person of the IGP is part of the larger agenda to destabilize the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

The group described the actions as unacceptable, and as Yoruba youths committed to the peace and progress of the country, it has refused to sit idly while such reckless behaviour continues unchecked.

The youth group said Sowore has built a career out of harassing, defaming, and undermining public officials, and it is time to set the record straight.

It said: “Recently he posted a self-indicting video evidence of himself where he was seen resisting and obstructing public officers doing their job, disobedience to lawful orders, cyberstalking, and portraying actions allegedly aimed at preventing arrests.

“His attack on the IGP is not just a random act of provocation; it is part of his larger agenda to destabilize the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“This is unacceptable, and as Yoruba youths committed to the peace and progress of our land, we refuse to sit idly by while such reckless behavior continues unchecked.”
