Ado-Ekiti – Two prominent traditional rulers risk deposition should the boundary crisis in their domains persists, Ekiti State government has warned.
The affected monarchs were the Onigbemo of Igbemo-Ekiti, Oba Adewumi Daramola and the Olorun of Orun-Ekiti, Oba Joshua Osalusi.
The warning came in the wake of the renewed violence which erupted between the two communities at the weekend over a bus stop shed constructed by Orun youths to mark the festive period which was allegedly burnt down by Igbemo youths who are claiming that the project was erected on their land.
Addressing the traditional rulers in their palaces during an emergency visit to the towns on Monday, the Deputy Governor, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi, expressed displeasure over disruption of peace and the tension created by the burning down of the bus stop shed.
According to a statement signed by his Special Assistant (Media), Odunayo Ogunmola, Egbeyemi has also summoned the two monarchs to a peace meeting to be held in his office on Wednesday to find a lasting solution to the crisis.
The two communities are located in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state.
