Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun wants Yorubas in Nigeria to prepare themselves physically and spiritually against terrorists.
The monarch spoke at a meeting with the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams.
The Aare paid a visit to the palace of Oba Olanipekun on Tuesday.
The Oba condemned the spate of killings, recalling the brutal attack on worshippers at a church in Owo, Ondo State.
The Ataoja said the massacre showed that Yorubaland has remained the target of terror groups.
“I am happy the Aareo Onakakanfo of Yoruba land is here and I want to appeal to him to save our land from these terrorists.
“The Southwest is boiling and it is only when we get ourselves prepared physically and spiritually that we can rid our region of terrorists that have invaded the region.â€
