Governor Adeleke, during his community engagement with the towns, vowed to take stringent measures against those fueling the crisis.
Adeleke said, “May God have mercy on those disrupting the peace of these towns. Osun State is peaceful to the extent that other governors were asking me how we did it. I told them it’s by God’s grace. Now, some devilish individuals want to disrupt the peace.
“If any of the parties goes to that land again, such persons would be arrested. Security is very important. As we are inviting investors, this kind of communal clash can scare the investors away from Osun. You must be very careful.”
