Governor Rauf Aregbesola has declared a two-day curfew in the entire Ile-Ife City in Osun State beginning from Wednesday.
A statement by the governor’s spokesman, Semiu Okanlawon, on Wednesday, said “This has been compelled by the breach of the peace in the area which has led to avoidable destruction of lives and properties.”
The curfew, which will be between 6pm to 7am, will be in force till Friday, the statement added.
At least five people have died in a face-off which began between Hausa and Yoruba residents in Ile-Ife on Tuesday.
