Ifon/Ilobu/Erin Communal Violence: Gov Adeleke Announces Decision To Set Up 3 IDP Camps

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has directed that three Internally Displaced Person camps should be established for people who have been made to leave their homes in Ifon, Ilobu and Erin Osun towns following the communal violence that took place in the communities in question.

The governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed noted in a statement he issued in Osogbo and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com that the directive was sequel to the confirmation of the implementation of Adeleke’s previous directive that food and relief materials should be distributed to the displaced people through the palace of each of the towns.

‘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 the 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 normalizes. The emergency agency has also reached out to NEMA for further support’ the governor was quoted as saying.

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

‘All the culprits must be brought to book. There must be accountability. I expect suspects to be taken to court as soon as possible’ the governor noted.

The statement added that 24-hour curfew continues amidst further tightening of security surveillance in the affected towns-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
