Chieftancy Tussle: Palace, other properties set ablaze in Osun community

VOICE AIR MEDIA, News Update

Buildings including a Palace have been set ablaze by hoodlums as fresh communal clash erupted between Orile-Owu and Araromi-Owu both in Ayedaade local government area of Osun State.

It was gathered the crisis was caused as a result of a chieftaincy title selection ongoing with the two communities.

Meanwhile Governor Ademola Adeleke has called for calm between the two communities while also ordering the security agencies to take over the zone.

On the same premise, Governor Ademola Adeleke has approved and directed that security operatives should immediately be stationed in the areas and protect the communities by maintaining law and order.

The directive from the state Government through the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi reads as follows:

Governor Ademola Adeleke has called for calm between Orile Owu and Araromi Owu communities in Ayedaade local Government area of Osun state.

He also announced that the Government has ordered that the chieftaincy selection process which caused the communal clash, be henceforth suspended.

Adeleke has also directed the Special Adviser on Security, Mr Ojo, to mobilise security operatives to the towns to maintain law and order, that anyone caught not abiding by the law is to be arrested and prosecuted appropriately.

The Government has the duty of protecting the lives and properties of the people of Araromi Owu and Orile Owu in Ayedaade local government, hence directing that any act or movement contrary to peace, and which may lead to breakdown of law and order in the communities, is not acceptable.

The Government particularly commiserate with the families of those who lost their properties in the communal clash, and added that the rift will be duly investigated.
