Governor Ademola Adeleke has proscribed the activities of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, in Osun State following the killing of Mr Olalekan Oyeyemi, popularly known as Ajagungbade Emir.
Ajagungbade Emir was shot dead on Sunday in Ile-Ife by suspected hoodlums during a clash over the control of a garage in the ancient city.
In a statement signed by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, the governor directed the Commissioner of Police to immediately arrest all those involved in the killing and bring them to book.
“Law and order must be maintained. There will be no sacred cows as all culprits will be brought to book,” Adeleke said.
The governor also ordered the immediate vacation of all motor parks by warring factions and directed security agencies to restore normalcy and ensure law and order across parks in the state.
As part of measures to prevent further violence, Adeleke announced the reintroduction of a Park Management System across the state. He said an Executive Order will soon be issued to give legal backing to the new system.
“We call on members of the public to remain calm. We will ensure restoration of peace in all the affected parks and areas. The security agencies are under instruction to ensure the sustainability of peace at all costs,” the governor added.
