Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has ordered an end to the bloodshed in the state.

Adeleke’s directive followed the breakout of deadly violence that erupted in local government secretariats across the state.

The governor confirmed that five members of the Peoples Democratic Party were killed during the crisis, while several others were injured.On Monday, violence broke out when loyalists of the All Progressives Congress attempted to reinstate their local government chairmen, who were removed by a court ruling in 2022.

The opposition by PDP supporters led to chaos and a violent outbreak.

In the course of the violence, the reinstated chairman of Irewole Local Government Area, Mr. Remi Abass, was killed.

Reacting via a statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke accused the APC of trying to take over the local governments illegally.

He said: “PDP lost five members, with several others wounded.

“Two were killed in Iragbiji, Boripe Local Government. Another two died in Ola Oluwa Local Government, and one was killed in Ikire. This bloodshed must stop.”

Adeleke directed residents and politicians to stay away from the local government secretariats as a way to prevent violence.

He added: “Governor Adeleke has directed all Osun residents to avoid the LG secretariats to prevent more violence and protect public property.

“Since the local government workers are on strike, security agencies will take full control of the secretariats.”
