—Mobilise for self defence

By Dayo Johnson Akure

The Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has called on traditional rulers in the Southwest to activate traditional security and defence systems to protect their communities from bandit attacks.

In a statement issued in Akure, Ondo State, and signed by its Chairman, Chief Korede Duyile, and Secretary, Dr Bakkita Bello, the group urged monarchs to take immediate steps to strengthen community-based security structures.
