Amotekun: Ban and arrest Miyetti Allah leaders now - FFK

Femi Fani-Kayode Femi Fani-Kayode

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, FFK, has reacted to a statement by the National Secretary, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Mr Saleh Alhassan, who said that the Yoruba people are the most primitive in terms of political culture.

Saleh, who spoke on the issue of Operation Amotekun on Channels TV, said he wasn't blackmailing the Southwest when he said they should scrap the security outfit or forget about the 2023 presidency.

"It is not a blackmail", he said.

"Unfortunately with very strong apology to my Southwest Yoruba friends. Despite the education of the Yoruba people, they still remain the most primitive in terms of political culture. They are not tolerant to opposition", he added.

Reacting to the statement which he described as an insult and denigration of the Southwest, Fani-Kayode called for the ban of Miyetti Allah.

In a series of tweets, he wrote:

"I listened to the National Secretary of Miyetti Allah on @channelstv & I am convinced that he needs to be taken to Prophet T.B. Joshua's SCOAN Church to get deliverance from the spirit of insanity, bloodlust, arrogance & delusion. The man is sick in mind, body spirit & soul.

"He is the quintessential barbarian: unlettered, unruly, ugly, uncouth, unconciable, foul-mouthed and incapable of reigning-in and controlling his primitive and socipathic passions.

"For such a creature to denigrate the people of the SW without any fear of sanction from the FG means only one thing: that the country is being run by a bunch of bloodthirsty & vicious terrorists & savage cattle-rearers whose intention is to push us into a second civil war.

"If the National Secretary of Miyetti Allah can describe the sons and daughters of Oduduwa as being primitive how should we now describe those that he represents?

"We shall not stand by idly and allow them to insult and denigrate us and we shall no longer take their insults without an appropriate response.

"Gone are the days when we will simply turn the other cheek. That is what Amotekun is all about!

"It is time to not only ban Miyetti Allah but to also arrest all its leaders, bring them to justice & send them back to Futa Jalon & Futa Toro. For those that have blood on their hands to have the nerve to call the sons & daughters of Oduduwa "illiterates" is a step too far".
