Yoruba Nation unveils app for tracking, tackling kidnappers
Yoruba Nation, a South-Western Nigerian secessionist group, says it has unveiled a surveillance application named “Pajawiri” which can be deployed to tackle the activities of kidnappers and bandits across Yourubaland.
Prof Banji Akintoye, Yoruba nation activist and leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination group, Ilana Omo Oodua, announced this in a statement issued by his spokesman, Maxwell Adeleye on Monday.
Adeleye said that Prof Akintoye made the announcement at an event after the unveiling ceremony which took place in Ibadan.
He said that Prof Akintoye explained that the application would expose criminal elements wherever they were with their victims, if the victims had the application installed on their phones, whether it was switched on or off.
The statement added that the application has another system called ‘Afinihan’ that can be used by those without android phones to link up with those with the full application.
“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.
“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,” the statement added.
