Yoruba group Ilana Omo Oodua launches kidnapping mobile phone application called Pajawiri

YORUBA self-determination group Ilana Omo Oodua has launched a mobile application called Pajawiri designed to track kidnap victims and alert the authorities of any cases of abductions within Nigeria.

Of late, kidnapping, abductions and banditry have become rife across Nigeria, with the paying of ransom becoming a thriving industry.  In a bid to address the menace, Ilana Omo Oodua leader Professor Banji Akintoye, unveiled a modern mobile application and alert system, named Pajawiri.

Among other things, Pajawiri can expose criminal elements wherever they are with their victims once the victims have the application installed in their phones either on or off. Furthermore, 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.

Professor Akintoye, said the emergence of Pajawiri is evidence that the Yoruba people are too intellectually sophisticated to be subdued. He added: “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. 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.

"Any person who finds himself threatened by danger and who is in possession of Pajawiri will be able to alert other persons for help. In short, Yoruba people today, are able now to enjoy security individually and collectively through the use of the app known as Pajawiri.

“The Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide owes our engineers who have put this together an enormous debt of gratitude. The Yoruba people also owe a lot of gratitude to the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination groups, Ilana Omo Oduduwa, for all the encouragement and support that they have given to these engineers.

“The creators of this application have magnanimously offered to put this app Pajawiri freely at the disposal of every Yoruba person for the next 30 days. That is, from now till the 21st of January, 2022. This means that all Yoruba people can have the protection of Pajawiri without paying any fees for the next 30 days."

Engineer Ayobami Abolaji, the coordinator of the project, explained that the Pàjáwìrì app is a system for warning and protection through an alarm and alert system that will generate protective action for the community and each individual user. Pajawiri will be free to download by any user and will be operational after the referral is activated for the new user to have the referral identification.
