The Ondo State Executive Council has threatened to banish the Olukare of Ikare-Akoko and the Owa-Ale of Iyometa Ikare over the incessant crises in Ikare-Akoko in Akoko North East Local Government Area of the state.
The commissioner also said the council set up a 5-member committee to look into the crisis in Ikare and recommend resolution on the Okoja issue as well as the Oloko intercession.
“ The crisis in Ikare has resulted in stringent measures being taken by the government. But in like manner, the curfew has been relaxed a little bit and it will be in effect from 6am to 6pm. “The council resolved that any further crisis or escalation in Ikare will result in the banishment of the Olukare and Owa-Ale.
“The Oloko intercession issue will also be looked into. From now on, the Council has resolved that no one should parade himself as the Olokoja of Okoja, either the one installed by Owa Ale and Olukare. “All minor chiefs installed by the Olokojas should stop parading themselves as chiefs henceforth. Whoever does so will be arrested and will face consequences”, the commissioner said.All rights reserved.
