Foremost historian and leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, Prof. Banji Akintoye, has unveiled a mobile application designed to track kidnap victims and expose danger anywhere in the South West.
This was disclosed via a statement issued by the spokesman of Professor Akintoye, Maxwell Adeleye, on Monday.
Adeleye said the mobile application and alert system, named Pajawiri, can also expose criminal elements wherever they are with their victims once they have the application installed in their phones either on or off.
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.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, Akintoye, who joined the event virtually from Benin Republic, where he has been for a while, said the emergence of Pajawiri is an evidence that the Yoruba people are too intellectually sophisticated to be subdued.
He 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.”
On the attendant benefits of Pajawiri, Akintoye said: “Every person in possession of the Pajawiri app on their telephone, will be able to activate the application 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.
