Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has charged the committee set up to unravel the remote causes of land dispute among Ifon-Osun in Orolu Local Government, Erin-Osun and Ilobu in Irepodun Local Government to recommend permanent solution to the dispute within two weeks.
Speaking at the inauguration of the 100-member committee in Osogbo, on Monday, Adeleke who was represented by his deputy, Kola Adewusi, urged the committee to look at the remote and immediate causes of the dispute to determine and mark the exact boundaries among the communities.
In the terms of reference given to the committee, Adeleke said the communities of Ifon, llobu and Erin-Osun should sign a truce with a view to nipping the dispute in the bud.
The committee headed by the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, is expected to take appropriate decisions that will enable the government to achieve permanent peace in the areas, making recommendations to government on permanent delineation of the boundaries and making visits to the location (the disputed areas and other relevant areas) that will enable the committee to determine the areas.
Adeleke urged the committee to expedite action and ensure completion of the assignment within two weeks.
The Co-chairman of the committee, Justice Moshood Adeigbe (retd), promised that the committee will discharge their duties without fear or favour.
