Leader of a so-called Young Yoruba for Freedom, Adeyinka Grandson, who currently resides abroad, in a viral video obtained by NEWSMEN urged all Igbo to leave Lagos in 48 hours or face dire consequences. “We are giving you (Igbo) 48 hour ultimatum from Friday till Sunday October 25, to leave Yoruba land.
“From Monday, we will close all roads and stop all vehicles across Yoruba land, and all Igbo nationals would be dealt with accordingly,” Grandson alleged in the video.
Nollywood actress, Rita Daniels and Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka among others who are preaching national unity, and cautioning ethnic and religious jingoists against ruining the harmony that has existed — have reacted to the video.
Regina Daniels’ mum kicks against Adeyinka Grandson’s threat to Igbo in Yorubaland.
Rita who is the mother of actress Regina Daniels reposted the video on Instagram on Saturday and wrote a lengthy message addressing what Adeyinka said.
Wole Soyinka in a release on Saturday in response to the viral video of Grandson’s threat described the threat by the UK-based Nigerian Adeyinka Grandson on Igbo indigenes to leave Yorubaland within 48 hours as the “work of sick, cowardly minds”.
She wrote: “PLS BE WISER WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT SHOULD MAKE US WISER. The president’s threat or speech broke us but thought us many hard lessons. Myself and so many others couldn’t sleep last night. We were broken.
