The  pan Yoruba movement, Afenifere, has  asked security agencies in the country to fish out the murderers of the Olufon of Ifon, Oba Israel Adeusi, even as it condemns  what it describes as shrinking of the  governable and secured  space in Nigeria.

The first class monarch was reportedly kidnapped before he was brutally murdered while on his way back from a meeting of royal council in Akure, the state capital.

A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, stated that the gruesome murder came  as the movement was  still smarting from the brutal murder of the daughter of its Leader, Mrs Funke Olakunrin, for which some Fulani herdsmen are currently on trial.

The statement reads:“There have been other multiple murders across Yoruba land which the police have not been able to resolve. It has reached a point that only very prominent killings get reported in this state of total insecurity in a failed state.

“The killing of any citizen worries us, how much more a first class monarch. We ask the police to fish out the killers of Olufon as it is one murder too many and absolute failure and lack of competence by the security system in Nigeria to secure lives and property which is the first duty of any responsible government.

“We are fed up with the daily sucking of the blood of our people across Nigeria in the apparent festering of insecurity which now has a very conducive atmosphere in Nigeria.

“We send condolences to Kabiyesi’s family, the people of Ifon town, Ondo state and the Yoruba nation on this abominable killing.”

It said it was time for  President Buhari  to get  up and secure Nigeria and allow a federal architecture that promotes homeland security stating being the commandeer-in – chief can’t be a title with no responsibility,”

“The total collapse of single policing to  keep   Nigeria safe is the urgent need to allow multi–level policing now.  The total collapse of infrastructure in Nigeria reflected in the report that the Oba was abducted by the killers as the vehicle had to slow down in a bad portion of the road. Why are we constructing road to Niger Republic when our own roads are literally death  traps?”
