The Ondo State Government has imposed
a 24-hour curfew on Ikare-Akoko, headquarters of Akoko Northeast Local Government
Area of Ondo State, with immediate effect.
According to a statement issued
by Richard Olatunde, Chief Press Secretary to the State Governor, the decision to
impose the curfew was made at the State Security Council meeting chaired by the
Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
The curfew was sequel to the
escalated violent clash in the town since Tuesday which had continued unabated,
despite the meeting between the Government and the duo of Olukare of Ikare, Oba
Akadiri Momoh and Owa Ale of Iyometa, Oba Adeleke Adegbite to rein-in their
subjects.
The curfew affects “any unauthorized human movement and activity until further notice”.
Olatunde said security agencies
have been directed to ensure strict compliance with the curfew order as
investigations are already on to unravel the real cause(s) of the violent
clash.
