Alleged corruption at Ilana Omo Oodua: Prof. Akintoye’s successor, Prof. Adeniran steps aside

115

Prof. Wale Adeniran, the new leader of Yoruba self-determination struggle also known as Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, has resigned his membership of the struggle over allegations of fraud and embezzlement.

Adeniran said he is stepping aside to allow for an uninhibited investigation of all allegations leveled against him.

He urged Yoruba leaders to make public the outcome of the investigation.

“I want to use this medium to step aside as Chairman of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide as a member of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide.

“I step down as the participant in the Yoruba Nation struggle so as to allow for unfettered investigations of all these allegations.

“Because in all developed parts of the world, what they normally do is that, if there is an allegation against public office holder, he or she will step aside to allow thorough investigation, that’s what I’m doing right now.

“I thank you all, and whatever comes out after the investigation should be made public,” Adeniran said in a two-minute, 33 seconds video on YouTube sourced by Persecondnews on Saturday.

“There shouldn’t be secret there. They should publicise the outcome of the investigation because all Yoruba must know the truth about the fraud allegation involving the struggle.”
