Adeniran resigns as Yoruba Nation chair over Fraud allegation
Wale Adeniran, the Chairman and Leader of the Yoruba Self-Determination Struggle, also known as Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, has resigned from the organization due to accusations of fraud and embezzlement.
Adeniran said in a two-minute and 33-second video that was shown on YouTube (Omoboriowo media) on Saturday that he stepped aside to allow a complete investigation into the fraud claim made against him.
He urged anyone who might have information on him that could be used against him or who might have contributed to the organization through him to come forward and make it public.

Adeniran called on Yoruba elders to form a committee and stated that he left the IOOW to allow for a full probe.
In his words, “I want to use this medium to step aside as Chairman of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, as member of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, I step down as the participant in the Yoruba Nation struggle so as to allow for unfettered investigations of all these allegations.
“Because in all developed parts of the world, what they normally do is that, if there is an allegation against a public office holder, he or she will step aside to allow thorough investigation, that’s what I’m doing right now.
“I thank you all, and whatever comes out after the investigation should be made public. There shouldn’t be a secret there. They should publicise the outcome of the investigation because all Yoruba must know the truth about the fraud allegation involving the struggle. Thank you.”
