Oyo state police command has released the three detained Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC).
The three
detained OPC members, Dauda Kazeem, Awodele Adedigba and Ramon Hassan were
detained on Sunday, shortly after the OPC handed over the dreaded kidnap
kingpin, Abdullah Iskilu Wakili, to the police.
Wakili was
captured alongside three others in Igangan after several attempts. Speaking
shortly after their release, Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige
Adams, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, said
the detention of the three gallant men became public issue because of the
circumstances surrounding the arrest and
detention of our members, as well as the notorious kidnapper Wakili.
"It is most important news is that the police had released our men in their custody, and it is great. I want appreciate everybody that have raised their voices against the unjust detention, including well meaning Nigerians, public opinion experts, socio-cultural groups, such as Afenifere, Yoruba Summit Group (YSG)and the media for their support while the situation lasts, and I want assure Nigerians that the OPC will continue to support and complement the efforts of all security agencies, including the police in ensuring that the south west is safe." Iba Gani Adams said.
