Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has warned against the spread of untrue information about the town, noting that there was no terrorist group in his domain.
The royal father was reacting to a report that claimed a security group of the Jama’atu Ta’awunil Muslimeen, a religious group based in Iwo, was a terrorist group.
In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the monarch, Alli Ibraheem, on Monday, Oluwo said the report was “a deliberate move to castrate the security muscle of Iwo by decimating the strength of Jaysu Security Network.”
Oba Akanbi further said, “The media report of the existence of a terrorist group in Iwo is false and unfounded. Iwo remains the most peaceful town in South Western States promoted by the activities of Jaysu Security Network, an annexe of Jama’atu Ta’awunil Muslimeen under the leadership of Sheikh Dahood Imran Molaasan.
“Imran Molaasan is an international asset who has efficiently delivered international assignments. He is one of the foremost educational philanthropists, awarding scholarships to indigent students. Jama’atu Ta’awunil Muslimeen has over 40 schools in Iwo, including the College of Education and orphanage homes. The group was established over 20 years ago. I do not know when contributing to strengthening the national security and academic excellence is termed as terrorism. No Terrorist can enter Iwo. Iwo is peaceful.”
He further stated that the security network was the most trusted and active in the town, adding that its operatives were working directly with the police.
“They know the nook and cranny of everywhere. The police use them to effect the arrest of hardened criminals. One other peculiarity of Iwo is the non-existence of movement restrictions in the name of rituals. You can move freely in Iwo anytime, including midnight. Iwo is the freest town.”
