Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has vowed to punish those behind the resurgence of violence in the Ifon/Ilobu communities of the state.
In a virtual security meeting held stakeholders on Tuesday, Governor Adeleke said those who re-ignited the attacks will be rounded up and arraigned for breaching peace in the area.
“I hosted a virtual security meeting last night. A physical meeting is now ongoing. We will not spare sponsors of this dastardly act.
“Any traditional ruler found to be fanning the embers of violence will be removed from office. Requisite intelligence is being gathered on the extent of culpability of prominent leaders from the two areas.
“Since yesterday (Monday), I have issued relevant directives which are being implemented to calm the situation. All through the night, security teams have commenced de-escalation operations.
“We have dispatched security teams and further measures will soon be announced,” the Governor noted.
He reiterated that “This time around, those involved will pay the price in line with the law of the land.”
