The three members of the Oodua People’s Congress who were detained by the police over the arrest of Fulani warlord, Wakili Isikilu, have been released on bail.
Wakili had allegedly been terrorising the people of Ibarapa area of Oyo State.
The OPC members were detained, while Wakili was taken to the hospital before being returned to detention due to what the police described as his “frail appearance and state of health.”
The trio, who were arrested on Sunday, were released from the police custody at Iyaganku Police Station, on Tuesday, around 5.40pm.
Their release was sequel to the intervention of the Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde and the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams.
Meeting during their time as students at the
University of Southern California, Kameni Ngahdeu and Kwabena Osei-Larbi were mission driven from the start of their friendship and found comfort in their shared cultural backgrounds. Hailing from West Africa, Ngahdeu was raised in Cameroon and Osei-Larbi was born in Ghana but raised in Nigeria and lived in Syria before traveling to the United States to attend college on the West Coast. While they shared cultural elements of which they were proud, the pair were also connected through the negativity they experienced regarding their heritage.
“We both had similar experiences growing up,” Osei-Larbi said. “At times we were made to feel like we weren’t meant to be proud of our African heritage or backgrounds or even the color of our skin.”
