The state warns Ondo against border incursions and attacks on residents.
The Ogun State Government has issued a plea to its neighboring state, Ondo, urging them to address the issue of their citizens encroaching on Ogun territory and launching attacks on Ogun indigenes residing in communities along the shared border. The statement was released by the state Deputy Governor, Mrs. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, who also serves as the Chairman of the Ogun State Boundary Committee.
In her statement, Mrs. Salako-Oyedele highlighted the growing concern of encroachment by Ondo State residents into Ogun communities, which has been accompanied by unwarranted assaults on Ogun State citizens. The affected areas, notably, include the Irokun kingdom situated in the Ogun-Waterside Local Government Area. It has been alleged that those responsible for these incursions and assaults hail from the Ilaje region of Ondo Stater

Furthermore, the Deputy Governor vehemently condemned the purported imposition of Princess Adeyinka Abejoye Ogunyemi as the regent of the town. She described this act as not only illegal but also a clear case of impersonation. This statement underscores the Ogun State Government’s commitment to safeguarding the welfare and security of its citizens and preserving the territorial integrity of the state. It also emphasizes the importance of peaceful coexistence and neighborly relations between the two states, as well as the need to resolve such disputes amicably.
