Following gradual return to peace and harmony between the warring communities of Ilobu and Ifon in Osun State, the state Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has relaxed the hitherto 7p.m. to 7a.m. curfew imposed on the towns to henceforth take effect from 10p.m. to 4 a.m. with effect from March 2, 2025.
It will be recalled that sequel to an outbreak of incessant communal crisis between the communities, Adeleke had few weeks ago ordered an imposition of curfew in the warring communities.
The new timeframe for the curfew was contained in a statement made available to journalists by the state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, in which Governor Adeleke expressed satisfaction that at last peace is gradually returning to the affected communities.
