Ifon-Ilobu crisis: Gov Adeleke orders security operation, sues for peace

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has directed immediate security operations to restore peace between the Ifon and Ilobu communities.

This is as Governor Adeleke urged the peace committee to revive the peace deal.

In a statement issued early on Friday over the renewed crisis, Governor Adeleke enjoined the joint security task force to step in immediately and stop the clashes.

DAILY POST gathered that clashes erupted again on Friday, as reports indicated that houses and cars have been set ablaze by unidentified persons from both towns.

The Governor, in the statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, decried the politicisation of the crisis and tasked the task force to go after the ringleaders and ensure they face the full wrath of the law.

The statement reads: “The Governor decried the politicisation of the crisis and tasked the task force to go after the ringleaders and ensure they face the full wrath of the law.

“He further urged the peace committee to ensure the immediate cessation of hostility to preserve lives and properties.

“The Governor, who lamented the repeated breach of peace deals among the warring communities, warned that his administration will take stringent action on the buffer zone between the two communities unless hostility stops immediately.”

As at the time the statement was made available to journalists, it was gathered that Governor Adeleke was holding security and political engagements to find a lasting solution to the crisis.
