Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has appealed to the two feuding communities, Ifon and Ilobu, in the State, to sheath their swords so as to sustain the prevailing peace for which Osun is renowned.
He statedthis in Osogbo, the State Capital, at the first edition of ,”Ipade Imole”, a quarterly meeting organized for the Governor to give account of his stewardship, and to allow the residents of the State to make their requests known to Government.
Adeleke said his administration would not allow anybody to hide under the canopy of land dispute to perpetrate murder, warning that anybody found guilty would be brought to book.
He charged the traditional rulers to take charge of their domains and ensure there is co-operation among them for the State to progress, stressing that he has mandated the Commissioner of Police and other security operatives to beef up security in the two towns.
While condoling the families of the bereaved and the two ancient towns, the Governor called for a minute silence to mourn the dead.
It would be recalled that the feud between the two vommunities took another dimension yester-night, reportedly resulting in the killing of two persoms.
