“I thank and appreciate the natives and non natives of Igbajo for their renewed commitment at gradual return to peace.

“However, I still direct that a contingent of security personnel, comprising the Army, Police, DSS and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence ( NSCDC), be on 24–hour guard and surveillance until such a time that total peace is seen and must have been duly acknowledged to have been attained and maintained .” Said Governor Ademola Adeleke in the statement.
