The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enita Ogunwusi has set up a 28-member committee of south-west leaders to look into the arrest of Sunday Igboho in Benin Republic.
Akin Osuntokun, the committee coordinator, said the committee will look into the issues surrounding the arrest of Igboho and related matters.
According to Osuntokun, “The Ooni of Ife inaugurated an advisory council comprising eminent Yoruba sons and daughters across the political spectrum. It is called the Ooni Caucus.The inauguration ceremony had been scheduled over a month ago and it is just an accident that it coincided with reports of Sunday Igboho’s arrest in Cotonou.Nonetheless the council is actively interested in the new development and would appropriately respond in the nearest future.”
Some of the people on the committee are Oba Olusola Alao, the Olugbon of Igbon; Senator Biodun Olujimi; Toyin Saraki; Segun Awolowo’; Doyin Okupe; Gbenga Daniel, and Muyiwa Ige.
