Key leaders of the Yoruba Nation movement have declared the plan to converge in London, United Kingdom, on Saturday, April 26, 2025, for a major summit aimed at pushing the agitation for secession to a decisive phase.
A flyer obtained by media shows that the summit, themed “What Next?”, is expected to produce concrete action plans for the long-declared ambition to exit what organisers described as the “Nigeria contraption”.
It was learned that the summit will also focus on “insecurity in Yoruba homeland, upcoming mass rally in Yoruba homeland and diaspora, and concrete action plans for exiting the Nigeria contraption”.
The event will be held at Ark Studio, Ark Walworth Academy, Shorncliffe Road, London SE1 5UJ, from 11am to 5pm, and is being organised under the umbrella of the Yoruba Self-Determination Movement (YSDM).
According to a flyer, the summit will be attended by frontline Yoruba Nation agitators including Prof. Banji Akintoye, the National Leader of YSDM; Chief Dr. Sunday Adeniyi Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho; David Malomo, UK/Europe Coordinator of YSDM; Kayode Emola, Deputy National Leader (Diaspora); Arakurin Seyi Olayode, Deputy Coordinator (UK/Europe); and Arch. George Akinola, Deputy National Leader (Homeland).
In October 2024, Sunday Igboho submitted a petition to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, urging consideration of the secessionist movement in Nigeria.
As reported by the media, the Yoruba Nation movement described the petition’s content as confidential, though sources indicated it centred on the “Yoruba Nation agitation.”
Igboho presented the petition on behalf of Prof. Adebanji Akintoye, leader of the Yoruba Nation movement.
Igboho was accompanied by others, including Diaspora Youth Leader Prophet Ologunoluwa, Vice President of Ifeladun Apapo Fatai Ogunribido, General Secretary of Yoruba World Media Alhaja Adeyeye, and Yoruba Nation Movement member Paul Odebiyi.
The movement sought the UK prime minister’s immediate intervention to support their agitation for establishing a nation predominantly for the indigenous Yoruba people.
British-Nigerian rapper, Joseph Adenuga, popularly known as Skepta, has expressed deep concern over the worsening injustice in his Nigeria.
Speaking in a video broadcast, the ‘Bad Energy Stay Far Away’ crooner appealed to celebrities and the international community to assist Nigerians in drawing the global attention to the injustices in Nigeria.
He explained that Nigerians are resilient but have been suffering injustice for long.
“There is so much injustice in Nigeria. And whenever I can whether it is at my shows, verbally or images, whatever I can do, we are going to speak up for injustice at all time.
“Nigerians need help. We need people to speak up for us as well. We need to protect Nigerians. There is so much injustice in Nigeria.
“This is my message to the people; please, I know that we [Nigerians] are resilient and we make everything look good, but we need help, too. Please, help us,” he appealed.
A former Director of Defence Information, Major General Rabe Abubakar, and his wife have been kidnapped by suspected armed bandits in Katsina State, north-west Nigeria.
The incident reportedly happened on Saturday along the Matazu axis of Katsina while the retired senior officer was travelling with his wife to Katsina. Armed attackers intercepted their vehicle and took them away.
A security source told Sahara Reporters that the driver of the vehicle was also attacked but managed to escape despite suffering a gunshot injury during the incident.
According to reports, the vehicle used by the retired general, a red Peugeot 504, was later found and has been taken to the Matazu Divisional Police Headquarters.
An informal security message circulating among military contacts, allegedly shared by retired Brigadier General Sagir Musa, confirmed that the officer and his wife were abducted and urged authorities to act quickly.
As of the time of this report, neither the Katsina State Police Command nor the military had released an official statement on the incident.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has sanctioned the promotion of 17,952 junior police officers across various ranks within the Nigeria Police Force. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts aimed at enhancing personnel welfare, boosting morale, and recognizing diligence, professionalism, and dedication to duty.
A statement issued by DCP Anthony Okon Placid, the Force Public Relations Officer at Force Headquarters, indicated that the promotion exercise, which spans Commands and Formations nationwide, includes the elevation of 165 Sergeants to the rank of Inspector, 73 Corporals to the rank of Sergeant, and 17,714 Constables to the rank of Corporal.
The Inspector-General of Police highlighted that timely promotions are a vital aspect of the Force’s human resource management strategy and serve as a significant motivator for officers to remain dedicated to fulfilling their constitutional duties. He underscored that the advancement of deserving personnel demonstrates the current Police leadership’s commitment to merit, career progression, and institutional development.
IGP Disu extended his congratulations to the newly promoted officers and urged them to view their elevation as a call to greater responsibility, professionalism, discipline, and dedication to service. He encouraged them to uphold the core values of the Nigeria Police Force and to continue performing their duties with integrity, respect for human rights, and a commitment to the rule of law.
The statement affirmed that the Nigeria Police Force is unwavering in its dedication to promoting excellence, rewarding hard work, and enhancing institutional capacity in accordance with global best practices in policing.
