The Ogun State Government has urged its Ondo State counterpart to warn its citizens against launching attacks on residents living in border communities of the two states. The State Deputy Governor, Mrs Noimot Salako-Oyedele, who doubles as the Chairman, Ogun State Boundary Committee, made this appeal in a statement issued in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. According to her, the encroachment on Ogun communities comes with assaults on Ogun citizens, most especially residents of Irokun kingdom, and the culprits were allegedly from the Ilaje end of Ondo State. “Irokun, a kingdom in Ogun State has its own traditional ruler, the Onirokun of Irokun, a member of our Ijebu Traditional Council. A statement issued by the then Ogun State government, said that contrary to the position of the Ondo State government, the affected communities fall within Ogun Waterside LG.
