Press Release

The attention of Sagamu Youth Association has been drawn to a video going round the social media from one Koiki media  where the name of our own Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, was mentioned and alleged to have ordered the Police to shoot at the peaceful protesters during the Yoruba Nation Awareness Rally stagged in Sagamu yesterday, Friday, 16th of April, 2021.

Sagamu Youth Association wishes to state here categorically that the said Statements stated in the video by Koiki Media was made to blackmail the Akarigbo of Remoland who has been out of the country for weeks now. 

The Protesters were said to have gone to the palace to pay homage to Kabiyesi who was not around but the Chief of Staff, Prince Abiodun Aina attended to them, implored them to be peaceful in their conducts and promised to ensure that they see Akarigbo whenever he comes back into the country.

We are the youths of Sagamu, we were fully on ground the awareness rally, and no Police Officer shot at anyone. There was no record of Police brutality, nobody was harrazzed, and not a single participant of the rally was arrested by Police. It was a peaceful and well organized rally and we commend the efforts of officers of Nigerian Police and our local vigilante for maintaining orderliness.

We hereby urge the general public to disregard all the unfounded claims in the purported video as it is bunkum in its entirety. The Sagamu Youth Association condemned in strong terms, all the mischievous, malicious and unfounded claims in the said video to soil the name of Akarigbo who is a peace loving King, lover of the Youths, an exemplary Leader and a prominent Yoruba Oba.

Above all, let us remain calm and focused, we also beseech everyone to dispel all sponsored fake news aimed at causing confusion and panic in the Sagamu and Ogun State at large, Koiki Media is known for peddling propaganda to attract traffic or get cheap and undeserved popularity.

We thank you all and God bless.
