A group, Yoruba Nation Youths, has rejected plans to plans to introduce Sharia law or establish Sharia courts in the South-West.
Edum News reports that the group in a statement by its leader (Diaspora) and Homebase Leader, Messrs Ayodele Ologunloluwa and Oyegunle Omotoyole, said they are prepared to defend their ancestral land against any form of destabilization.
Recall that reports had emerged showing that the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (Oyo State Chapter) has scheduled January 11, 2025, for the inauguration of a Sharia court in Oyo town.
Reacting to the development, the youths described the proposal as “laughable” and vowed to mobilize resistance efforts if the plan proceeds.
The statement reads: “We will resist any move to impose Sharia law or courts in Yorubaland.
“Instead of a Yoruba man prostrating for a Hausa-Fulani, it is better to take courage and die. Sharia law is incompatible with our values, culture, and way of life. We will not allow any attempt to disrupt the peace of Yorubaland under the guise of religious imposition.
“We will resist this agenda with all our might. No force on earth or in hell can stop the rise of a sovereign Yoruba state.”
