False Claims from UK and US Factions Dismissed by Afenifere

A prominent faction within the pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has strongly rebuffed recent claims from individuals in the United Kingdom and the United States who falsely claim to represent the organization. The group clarified that these individuals were expelled from Afenifere over two years ago and hold no legitimate affiliation with the group today.

two rival factions based in the UK and US, led by Babatunde Shianaba (UK) and Dr. Durojaiye Akindutire (US), released a statement over the weekend rejecting the appointment of Oba Oladipo Olaitan as the group’s leader. Despite the widespread circulation of this statement, Afenifere quickly moved to discredit their claims, reaffirming the true leadership of the group and distancing itself from those no longer affiliated with it.
