Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Osun state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has paid a condolence visit to the victims of the community chieftency crisis in Ido Ayegunle and Esa Oke.

The community witnessed a breakdown of law and order, and destruction of properties on Tuesday after the Esa Oke demanded the reversal of Prince Oluyemi Ajayi’s appointment as the Olojudo of Ido Ajegunle.

The Osun state government has however vowed to set up a disciplinary committee to get to the root of the matter. The governor requested for the cooperation of the residents of the community to return peace to the town.

The governor said “Now it has happened. The palace of the king was affected, including shops. It is unfortunate.

“I know we will have disagreements, but not to the extent of killing and burning houses. What do we stand to gain?

“After it happened, the opposition and those that don’t want Esa-Oke to have progress will capitalise on that. I’m sure that an indigene of Esa Oka will not burn the palace. Anyone who does that is a bastard.

“I will investigate and no matter how highly placed the perpetrator is, he will be brought to book.”

The Osun state governor also asked aggrieved parties to send petitions on their grievances, as he promised to attend to it. He said “If you are not pleased, write your petition and bring it and I will act on it. There is no need for you to start fighting because I will do justice to it.

“I don’t want to declare a curfew, that is why I am here today to assess what is happening. I just came back from Asaba. I ought to be attending to files but I am here, but you will help me. I want development to come.

“We will form a panel of inquiry to look at the root cause of the crisis. Since I know Esa-Oke, it has been a very peaceful community.”

The town chief also called for the unconditional release of those indiscriminately arrested during the recent crisis.
