Security improvements have prompted Osun State authorities to modify restrictions in three troubled areas. Governor Ademola Adeleke announced changes to movement restrictions affecting residents of Ifon, Ilobu, and Erin-Osun after receiving positive assessments from security agencies. Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, released details about the adjusted timeframe on Saturday. The modified restrictions operate between 12:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., replacing the earlier schedule of 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. that began on Saturday, July 19, 2025.
Traditional leaders received recognition from Adeleke for their contributions to peace-building across the affected regions. The Olufon of Ifon, Olobu of Ilobu, and Elerin of Erin-Osun earned specific praise alongside community stakeholders. State officials maintain readiness to respond firmly against anyone attempting to reignite conflicts. Adeleke called upon the 100-member Boundary Resolution Committee to accelerate its dispute settlement processes. Unresolved territorial disputes continue to generate friction between the three neighboring communities.
