Oyo Kidnap: Women Traditionalists Storm Sacred Sites, Invoke Deities
James Sowole in Abeokuta
Concerned by the growing wave of insecurity and the recent kidnapping incident in Oyo State, women and traditional worshippers from Orile-Ilawo Kingdom in Egbaland have embarked on a spiritual exercise aimed at securing the release of victims held in captivity.
The exercise was led by the Olori of Orile-Ilawo Kingdom, Dr. Omolara Fashola-MacGregor, who described the initiative as a sacred appeal to the deities and ancestral spirits revered across Egbaland.
The delegation, comprising scores of women, traditionalists and cultural adherents, visited several historical and spiritual landmarks in Abeokuta and its environs to offer prayers and supplications for divine intervention.
