Gov Adeleke reacts to Ajeniju’s attack, Orders Security Clampdown on perpetrators

Governor Ademola Adeleke has issued stern warning to youth groups behind recent attacks on the Ajeniju of Hallelujah, Oba Jelil Olaiya and the burning of his palace, directing security agencies to fish out those behind the dastardly acts.

The Governor who frowned at resorting to self help by some elements within the Ido Osun community said he has directed the Commissioner of Police to secure the troubled areas and arrest the ringleaders of the violent actions.

The Governor who has spoken with the Ajeniju of Hallelujah who is presently recuperating from the attacks, also further directed the Olojudo of Ido Osun, Oba Olayinka Oyetunde Ishola to call his rampaging youth to order amidst ongoing law enforcement.

According to the Governor, resorting to violence to resolve communal disputes is unacceptable and those found wanting will face the full wrath of the law.

“Aside from law enforcement, I have further directed the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Dosu Babatunde to commence immediate peace-building and conflict de-escalation in collaboration with the security agencies.

“Any community with grievances is free to approach relevant government agencies to table such for conflict resolution. We will not tolerate violence under whatever guise”, the Governor warned.
