Apparently worried by incessant kidnap and endemic corruption bedevilling the country, the paramount ruler of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, Telu 1, has advocated death sentence for those found culpable to stem the trend.
Speaking with newsmen in his palace in Iwo yesterday, the monarch insisted that until capital punishment was enforced on perpetrators of these inhuman acts, they will continue to thrive no matter the level of security measures adopted.
Oba Akanbi cited Saudi Arabia where capital punishment has made it impossible for corruption to thrive, adding that those that are killing the masses steadily cannot withstand capital punishment.
While condemning the recent killing of Yoruba monarchs, Oba Akanbi who described the act as heinous and sacrilege called on his fellow monarchs to fortify themselves with the power of Olodumare and abstain from idol worshipping.
Akanbi said, “It is not only in Nigeria that we are experiencing insecurity, There are many places in the world where they are experiencing insecurity, but what we see in the case of killing traditional rulers in Yorubaland now is sabotage.
“It is a planned sabotage. There is sabotage in the land, especially against this government. We have seen now that the people who believe in them are the ones doing it.
On the rise in the cost of living that is inflicting untoward hardship on Nigerians, Oluwo called for patients, adding that the economic policy of President Bola Tinubu administration will soon yield fruitful dividends.
