Osun communal clash : Adeleke orders immediate camps for displaced victims

By Michael Ofulue Osogbo

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has directed the immediate establishment of three camps for displaced people from Ifon, Ilobu and Erin Osun.

The decision followed the recent destruction of houses and other properties of residents at the three warring communities of Ifon, Ilobu and Erin -Osun communities

The governor issued the directive after the distribution of food and relief materials to the displaced people through the palaces of each troubled town.

“Now that the distribution of food and relief materials has commenced, I have directed the state emergency agency to proceed to set up camps for displaced people.

“Each town is to have a camp, probably their town halls or any place of their choice. Security agencies are to screen displaced people for transportation to the camps.

“The emergency agency will be providing food materials and accessories for the displaced people while the situation normalises. Adeleke stated

The emergency agency has also reached out to NEMA for further support,” the governor was quoted as saying in a statement issued on Wednesday by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed.

Meanwhile, Adeleke has commended security agencies for promptly implementing his directive for the grilling and prosecution of key ringleaders in the communal crisis.

“All the culprits must be brought to book. There must be accountability. I expect suspects to be charged to court as soon as possible,” the governor noted.

The statement disclosed that the 24-hour curfew earlier declared in the affected communities is to continue amidst further tightening of security surveillance in the towns
