Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has ordered the relaxation of the 24-hour curfew imposed on Ifon, Ilobu, and Erin-Osun.
The curfew will now run for 17 hours daily, from 2 PM to 7 AM, starting Friday, March 28, 2025, until further notice.
In a statement by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the governor explained that the adjustment was aimed at easing the hardship faced by residents while allowing them to attend to urgent needs.
Governor Adeleke commended the reduction in hostilities but expressed concern over reports of another killing, for which an arrest has been made. He warned that anyone caught instigating violence would face the full weight of the law.
He also directed the joint security task force to maintain 24-hour surveillance to prevent any breakdown of law and order. Additionally, the state emergency agency has been instructed to intensify support for displaced residents.
