COSEG was reacting to a reported boko haram threat on the Nobel Laurette, Prof. Soyinka and Niger Delta in a statement jointly signed by Dayo Ogunlana and Razaq Oloko-Oba, Chairman and Secretary respectively.
The statement, which was issued after a meeting of all groups that form the coalition and leadership of COSEG War Council resolved that it would react accordingly if anything happens to Wole Soyinka because violence, they say, begets violence.
It further emphasized that “we will retaliate majorly on all northern interests in the south west should anything happened to Soyinka and/or other Yoruba nationals.
The group also made it abundantly clear that “we are not ready to concede an inch of our territory in any Yoruba state or area including the Itsekiri border to any usurper from any quarter.”
While expressing support for all agitations of various groups, COSEG however condemned the method of killing innocent people across the country describing it as unacceptable.
