The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Chief Gani Adams, on Tuesday, March 9, dismissed insinuations that suspected notorious Fulani kingpin Wakili, arrested by members of the Oodua Peoples Congress. OPC in Ibarapaland, is in poor health and blind.
Adams rejected the claim during a press conference while giving a detailed explanation of who Wakili is.
According to him, Wakili is a serial criminal who was in charge of organizing various kidnapping operations in his jurisdiction; before being apprehended in Ibarapaland by the OPC.
Wakili was only pretending to be blind during his arrest to gain public sympathy; after his gangs committed many atrocities in Ibarapaland over the years.
The Aare Ona Kankanfo said the arrested Wakili was in Ogun State a few weeks ago to buy feed for his cattle and also walked down to the spot where the vehicle that took him to the station was parked; without assistance after being apprehended by OPC men.
According to Adams, Wakili is not blind and was just pretending to be blind.
He called Wakili a rapist; and that everyone who says he is blind is actually misinformed adding that he was simply acting strangely before he was apprehended. “This was someone who trekked down without help when he was apprehended.
Since the OPC men who detained him refused to put him on a motorcycle to prevent him from being lynched by angry villagers; he was kept safe in the car while being driven to the Police station.
“He was rushed to a hospital for urgent medical treatment; despite the fact that nothing had happened to him or that he had been manhandled by our officers.” he explained.
