Oba Akanbi condemned the recent killing of innocent villagers and cautioned against the politicisation of bandit attacks across the country.
The Osun monarch’s position was conveyed in a statement released on Tuesday by his spokesperson, Alli Ibraheem.
Expressing condolences to the people and government of Kwara State over the bandit attack on Woro village, which reportedly claimed over 170 lives, Oba Akanbi emphasized that Nigeria’s dealings with Western nations should be carefully managed to ensure they do not undermine national unity or security efforts.
He urged Nigerians to embrace unity and collective responsibility, stressing that insecurity cannot be effectively tackled in a divided society.
The Oluwo also expressed concern over the muted public response to the Woro attack, noting that the victims were predominantly Muslims, and warned against reactions driven by religious or political bias.
“The successes achieved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration are perceived as a threat by some Western countries, and any foreign involvement in Nigeria’s security architecture must be approached with caution,” he said.
“The limited public reaction to the Woro village tragedy is worrying. Over 170 Nigerians, mostly Muslims, were killed overnight,” Oba Akanbi added.
He further stressed that no country has successfully tackled banditry or terrorism by fostering religious divisions and called for a united national strategy to address security challenges.
The monarch also criticized individuals and groups he accused of exploiting bandit attacks for political or religious gain, describing such actions as unpatriotic.
Oba Akanbi called on security agencies to improve intelligence gathering and strengthen collaboration with local communities to prevent further attacks and loss of lives and property.
“I also urge the Nigerian security architecture to enhance intelligence operations. Information is power, and cooperation from local residents is essential to stopping banditry,” he said.

Speaking on a recent episode of the KAA Truths podcast, the Area Fada crooner slammed some pastors for their silence amid Nigeria’s economic and security challenges, accusing them of colluding with corrupt politicians to exploit the public.
Charly Boy stressed that, despite living in Nigeria, he thinks and behaves differently from most Nigerians and refuses to fall for what he described as the sanctimonious antics of certain pastors.
“All the pastors I know of in Nigeria, 99 percent of them are useless. It is just a business that they are running,” he asserted.
“I may live in Nigeria, but Nigeria does not live in me. I don’t believe like you, I don’t think like you, and I’m not in the same class as you people. I come from a different space and time,” he added.
