Governor, Rauf Aregbesola
yesterday in Osun through a statement released by his media aide, Mr Semiu
Okanlawon, has given a seven-day ultimatum for those who are in possession of
illegal arms in the state to surrender them or face the full wrath of the law.

Aregbesola made this statement due
to the crisis between Ipetumodu and Ashipa communities which escalated recently
leaving a lot of properties destroyed and many wounded. He says his Government
is to protect the weak and make sure there is peace and harmony in all areas of
the state. He begged all those in possession or illegal arms used in the battle
to surrender now or face prosecution. Continue…

“People with illegal weapons
should voluntarily submit them to relevant authorities in not more than one
week from now before government begins to fish them out.

“People should live to the dictate
of the law, our government will after the one week ultimatum embarks on
house-to-house search for illegal weapons so that the state can have peace.

“Whoever is caught after the one
week deadline will face the full wrath of the law because we are not in a stone
age. The state will care for the weak. We are admonishing the strong to be
mindful of those that are not strong,” he said.
