Governor Akeredolu Orders Curfew In Igbara-Oke Over Aggressive Protests

Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has imposed a twenty-four hour curfew on Igbara-Oke, the headquarters of Ifedore Local Government Area of the State.

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Richard Olatunde, revealed this on Thursday in a statement titled, ‘Curfew Imposed on Igbara-Oke’.

According to the statement, the curfew was majorly because of aggressive activities that occurred during a protest after a councillorship bye-election in the town.

The statement read, “Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN has ordered the imposition of a twenty-four hour curfew on Igbara-Oke, headquarters of Ifedore Local Government Area of the State.

“This order is with immediate effect. This is sequel to the violent dimension of what was initially considered a peaceful protest in the town following the outcome of a Councillorship bye-election.

“All security agencies are urged to enforce this order to the letter. In the same vein, Traditional Rulers, opinion leaders and all persons of goodwill are enjoined to rein in their wards as non-compliance with this curfew order shall not be tolerated.”
