Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has ordered an end to the bloodshed in the state.<\/p>\n

Adeleke\u2019s directive followed the breakout of deadly violence that erupted in local government secretariats across the state.<\/p>\n

The governor confirmed that five members of the Peoples Democratic Party were killed during the crisis, while several others were injured.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The opposition by PDP supporters led to chaos and a violent outbreak.<\/p>\n

In the course of the violence, the reinstated chairman of Irewole Local Government Area, Mr. Remi Abass, was killed.<\/p>\n

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

He said: \u201cPDP lost five members, with several others wounded.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adeleke directed residents and politicians to stay away from the local government secretariats as a way to prevent violence.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cGovernor Adeleke has directed all Osun residents to avoid the LG secretariats to prevent more violence and protect public property.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the local government workers are on strike, security agencies will take full control of the secretariats.\u201d<\/p>\n
