The Kaaro Oojiire Omo Oodua Foundation (KOOOF) has ccondemned the recent video released by Okikiola Badmus, also known as Portable, “which contains malicious and defamatory statements against his girlfriend, Queen Dammy, the estranged wife of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi Ill.”
According to a release signed by the Chairman of the group, Asiwaju Olu Mayungbe, “Portable’s claims in the video are not only frivolous, egregious, and preposterous but also damaging to Yorube anthropology and culture. His statements have brought disrespect to the highly revered late Yoruba Royal Father and his family.
“We demand that Portable immediately:
Tender an unreserved apology to the Yoruba people, kings. Alaafin’s chiets, the Oyomesis, and family members on all social media platforns and newspapers.
“Withdraw the defamatory video fiom all his social networks.
“Failure to comply with these demands may lead to further action. Portable’s video has the potential to cause unrest in Nigeria, particularly in the Southwestem region.”
The group then urged the Nigerian authorities to take necessary action against Portable for his malicious and defamatory statements.
The Kaaro Oojiire Omo Oodua Foundation vowed to continue to promote and protect Yoruba culture, tradition. and heritage.
