Yoruba Nation has unveiled a mobile application – Pajawiri to track kidnappers.
Gatekeepers News reports Pajawiri, designed to track kidnappers and kidnap victims in the South-West zone of Nigeria, has been unveiled by the arrowhead of Yoruba Nation agitation, Prof Banji Akintoye, has unveiled a mobile application.
The historian and leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination group, Ilana Omo Oodua, unveiled the application at an event in Ibadan, Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria.
Akintoye said the application will expose criminal elements wherever they are with their victims, once the victims have the application installed in their phones, either on or off.
According to him, the security system, which can be downloaded on Play Store, has another system called ‘Afinihan’ that can be used by those without android phones to link up with those with the full application.
Akintoye who joined the unveiling ceremony virtually from the Benin Republic, said the emergence of Pajawiri is evidence that the Yoruba people are too intellectually sophisticated to be subdued.
According to a statement by his spokesman, Maxwell Adeleye, the 86-year-old said, “We have now proven to the world that we cannot be captured nor be subdued. We are too intellectually sophisticated to be subdued.
“It is these innovations and intellectual powers that we will deploy to get ourselves out of the quagmires of Nigeria.”
Akintoye spoke further, “Those in possession of the ‘Pajawiri’ app on their telephone, will be able to activate the app instantly, whenever they find themselves in danger. By activating the app, they will be able to alert their families, their friends, and their neighbours that they are in danger and that they need help.
“In that way, no Yoruba person needs to be alone anywhere on their farms, schools, market places, shops, and anywhere else. Any person who finds himself threatened by danger and who is in possession of Pajawiri will be able to alert other persons for help.”
Akintoye had been seen at Yoruba Nation rallies with embattled agitator, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, before the latter’s arrest on July 19, 2021, at an airport in the neighbouring francophone West African nation.
