"Our JUJU Can Help JTF to Wipe Out Boko Haram" – Traditional Worshippers
The
Traditional Religion Worshipers Association, (TRAWSO), Osun State
chapter, has issued a note of warning that the Joint Task Force (JTF)
alone is incapable of fighting and winning the terror campaigns of the
Boko Haram in the North.
TRAWSO
assured that it would only carry out some sacrifices, which would
automatically compel the recalcitrant insurgents to lay down their arms,
if the Federal Government was ready to opt for their intervention.
Leader
of the traditionalists, Chief Awopetu Idowu, stated this at a press
conference organized as part of activities marking this year’s Isese Day, Tuesday, August 20.
Chief
Awopetu contended that rather than attribute the want on destruction of
lives and properties that the country has witnessed since the
insurgency commenced in 2009 on religion as the members and leaders of
the radical sect had claimed, the massacre of innocent Nigerian has
political undertone and, therefore, charged the Federal Government to
formally approach traditional worshipers to solve the problem.Pitching his tent with him was the president, the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the association, Chief Ifayemi Elebuibon, who also said the insecurity facing the country could be resolved without the use of fire arms as there was appeasement that could be made to make members of the sect lay down their arms.
