One of the agitators for Yoruba Nation Prof Banji Akintoye has unveiled a mobile application known as Pajawiri to track kidnappers and kidnap victims in the south-west.
Akintoye unveiled the app which can be downloaded on Play Store in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
The historian and leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination group, Ilana Omo Oodua joined the event virtually from Benin Republic where one of the agitators Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho is being held by the government on travel-related charges.
According to him, 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.
He said the security system also 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,” the 86-year-old said, according to a statement by his spokesman, Maxwell Adeleye.
He added, “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.”
