We Won’t Allow Sharia Law In Southwest — Yoruba Youths

• A Yoruba Youths group has stepped up, as they flight against the attempt to introduce sharia law in Oyo state.

• The group threatened a protest, stating that it goes against the Yoruba culture.

Memebrs of a youths group, which identified itself as Yoruba Nation Youths have stepped up, as they vehemently reject the sharia law proposal.

Daily Report Nigeria recalls that news of a sharia court being inaugurated in Oyo state had made rounds online, with many people kicking against it.

Though the Muslims in Oyo state have said the law doesn’t affect non Muslim, but Oyo residents aren’t having it, while stating the case of Deborah, who was beaten and burnt to death for allegedly blasphemy.

Releasing a statement by it’s diaspora leader and Homebase Leader, Messrs Ayodele Ologunloluwa and Oyegunle Omotoyole, said they are prepared to defend their ancestral land against any attempts to impose Sharia law.

“We will resist any move to impose Sharia law or courts in Yorubaland.

“Yoruba culture and traditions are distinct, and any attempt to introduce alien laws will be met with fierce opposition.

“We warn the Federal Government not to create divisions in Yorubaland. Our focus is on Yoruba Nation self-determination, and we will not allow external influence to derail our struggle.

“Instead of a Yoruba man prostrating for a Hausa-Fulani, it is better to take courage and die.

“Sharia law is incompatible with our values, culture, and way of life. We will not allow any attempt to disrupt the peace of Yorubaland under the guise of religious imposition.”

“We reject any effort to entrench practices that undermine our faith, values, and identity. We will resist this agenda with all our might.

“No force on earth or in hell can stop the rise of a sovereign Yoruba state” the statement reads.
