A civil society organization, Committee for the Protection of Peoples Mandate (CPPM), on Sunday, condemned the reported attack on the Oyo State Government Secretariat by a group of hoodlums called Yoruba nation agitators, describing the attack as an “act of terrorism” against the Nigerian state which must be confronted with the full wrath of the law.
CPPM expressed this concern in a statement issued by its Executive Director, Comrade Nelson Ekujumi, even as it commended the security agencies for rising to the occasion in apprehending the terrorists before they could unleash mayhem in Oyo State in particular and Nigeria in general.

“We view this reprehensible terrorist conduct by the hoodlums called Yoruba nation agitators as an act of terrorism against the Nigerian state which must be confronted with the full wrath of the law,” the group said.
The group then urged the security agencies to dig deeper into the activities of the association called Yoruba nation agitators who it said had assaulted and undermined national security and were warning up to be like terrorist groups in the mould of IPOB/ESN and Boko Haram, warning that Nigeria as a country cannot afford to allow the threat to national security by another terrorist group in the name of Yoruba nation agitators.
The group, while demanding for the venting of the full wrath of the law on those it described as a bunch of miscreants terrorists before they develop into monsters, urged Nigerians to remain law abiding and keep faith with democracy despite the challenges by upholding their duties as patriotic citizens whose loyalty to fatherland was irrevocable.
