The Ondo State Government has reviewed the twenty-four hour curfew imposed on Ikare, Akoko North East Local Government Area of the State.
Donald Ojogo, information commissioner in the state disclosed on Sunday evening, that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has directed that beginning from Monday, May 10, 2021, the curfew would start at 7.00pm and end at 7.00am.
“Government had monitored developments in the town since the imposition of the curfew just as security agencies diligently and professionally, enforced the order to restore peace in the community. The review of the curfew order is, therefore, the outcome of the assessment of the situation, so far.
“It must, however, be noted that any further breach of the peace shall attract more stringent measures from Government in the direction of peace enforcement. Government shall be most decisive than ever.
“All residents of the town are enjoined to abide by this fresh directive and take maximum advantage of this window to deepen harmony and brotherliness amongst one another.
“Furthermore, all traditional rulers, opinion leaders as well as men and women of goodwill are advised to rein in their wards, loyalists and supporters to embrace peace henceforth,” Ojogo said.
