Founder of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Dr. Frederick Fasehun, has ordered a manhunt for the men involved in the torture and sodomy of two women at Ejigbo Area Council of Lagos State. He also commended the Lagos State House of Assembly and the Majority Leader, Honourable Mojibayo Adeyeye, for placing N1 million and N250,000 bounties respectively on the heads of the offenders. In a press statement on Monday, Fasehun ordered OPC members to hunt down the tormentors and turn them over to law-enforcement authorities.
He urged members of the public to discountenance insinuations that his OPC had a hand in the incident. Challenging anyone to provide proof that those responsible for the inhuman act were members of his group, Fasehun said authentic members of the OPC can easily be recognized by identity cards bearing his personal signature and issued by the group’s national headquarters. “How will the Iya Oloja and Baba Oloja, responsible for the day-to-day running of the market, claim ignorance of something that happened under their nose? What happened to those women is not only evil, it is dehumanizing,” he said. “The treatment meted out to them violently [allegedly for stealing pepper] contradicts everything OPC stands for. OPC is an organization specifically dedicated to promoting the corporate interest of the Yoruba nationality and upholding the dignity of the Yoruba man or woman.”
