Clash: Osun Govt Reduces Curfew Hours In Ifon, Ilobu
Osun state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has directed that the hitherto 24-hour curfew imposed on Ifon and Ilobu communities be reduced to 12 hours.
Governor Adeleke’s latest directive was anchored on good compliance to the last week, Saturday, Peace Agreement signed by the communities in both Orolu and Irepodun local governments to bury their hatchets and embrace a lasting peace over the communal clashes.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, Commissioner for Information.
Gov Adeleke, however, maintains and re-emphasises his earlier directive of taking complete possession by his administration of the disputed lands until the imbroglio is finally seen to have been amicably brought to an end by the natives.
Accordingly, the hitherto 24-hour curfew, from dusk to dawn, earlier in place, has now been directed by the governor to be between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily.
The Joint Security Task Force comprising the Nigeria Army, Police Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps and other security agents should, however, continue their normal 24-hour surveillance of both Ifon, Ilobu and Olokanla communities.
