Following reports of alleged attacks in Egbedi town, Governor Ademola Adeleke has directed immediate investigation into the incident, assuring the people of Egbedi of protection of lives and properties.
The Governor in a statement by his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, frowned at the unwholesome incident and directed the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr. Dosu Babatunde and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters, Mr. Ojo to investigate the incident and ensure restoration of peace in the area through inclusive conflict resolution procedure.
Governor Adeleke particularly rejected the involvement of the state government and advised against politicising the unfortunate face-off.
“We should avoid politicising every incident. I have no gun wielding appointee. I didn’t send anybody to foment communal crisis. We will get to the root of the matter”, the Governor was quoted as saying in the statement.
Governor Adeleke assured the Elegbedi of Egbedi, Oba Muideen Azeez, Chiefs, Sons and Daughters of the town that those responsible for the attacks will be brought to book.
