recalls that armed men donning foreign military camouflage and other paraphernalia invaded the Oyo State Government Secretariat, Agodi, and announced that Yorubas have seceded from Nigeria effective Friday, April 12, 2024. But speaking to , Omitola said those responsible for the agitation were abnormal pretenders who were against what Yorubas stood for right from Nigeria's independence till now.
