Professor Banji Akintoye, the former leader of the Yoruba National Group, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, has been accused by Chief Wale Adeniran, a former member of the group, of allegedly collecting the sum of N6 million from the Canada chapter of the group on the pretext of using it to work for the interest of the group, but failed to utilize the money well.
It was gathered that a communique and audio document by Chief Adeniran and a member of the group who is based in the United States of America made its way online and caused disaffection among members of the group.
Akintoye was also accused of requesting funds for a trip to Brazil. Adeniran lamented Akintoye’s action and queried why he cannot be questioned by the group. He added that such acts should not be condoned, and the leaders of the group should address the controversy.
However, Ilana Omo Oodua released a statement where they sent Adeniran to the gallows for leveling such allegations against their former leader.
According to them, the allegation is an attempt to discredit Akintoye in a bid to frustrate the group. Adeniran was labeled a liar and someone who betrayed the trust of others. He was condemned as someone against Yoruba ethos and culture.
