The Special Adviser to Oyo State Governor on Security, Fatai Owoseni, said Onitiri-Abiola is the leader of another separatist group.

Owoseni, who spoke on national television, said the woman has been there for more than three decades.

On the statement credited to Prof. Banji Akintoye alleging that Onitiri-Abiola was behind the Saturday incident, Owoseni said: “The woman has been there. She was there even during the time of the late Bashorun Kashimawo Abiola.

“She has spoken out at one time or another. This confirms the proliferation of separatist groups I talked about.

“Some of these people read the United Nations Conventions Charter wrongly and everyone wants to take advantage of such an act.”

Owoseni, a former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, said the Federal Government was already concerned about the security situation in the country and working to address the concerns.

On how to tame similar incidents in the future, he said there was a need to rejig the nation’s security architecture.

He urged political leaders to make conscious efforts to engage the youths on values, showcasing good role models.

Owoseni added: “We need to engage in value re-orientation, using good role models that will be talking to people.

“There is a need for total overhaul of our security architecture as regards licensing of uniforms by different security outfits.” (Excerpted from a report by The Nation)
