A socio-cultural group, Omo Okun Liberty Association (OOLA) has condemned the recent conflict in Isanlu, Yagba East local government of Kogi state that led to loss of lives and destruction of properties.

In a statement signed by the National Secretary, Olufemi Peters Awarun, the group called for constant vigilance to ensure peace in Okun communities.

“The National President, Grand Patron, elders, excos and members of Omo Okun Liberty Association sincerely commiserate with the paramount ruler of Isanlu Kingdom, His Royal Majesty Oba (Dr) Moses Babatunde Etombi, the Agbana of Isanlu Kingdom and Chairman Yagba East Traditional Council as well as all who have lost their beloved ones, as we look forward to total healing and peace in our beloved Isanlu land.

“OOLA is greatly saddened by the terrible state of Okun Land plagued by massive conflict, crisis and great insecurity. Particularly the recent one in Isanlu, causing great grief, distrust, anxiety, pain, fear, panic, discord and distress to people in Okun Land.

“As a people, we must respect and value human life. In addition, we must compel our law enforcement officers and agencies who are sworn to protect lives and properties, to step up and do same.

“We must also effectively check miscreants and criminal activities in our communities,” he said.

The statement added that Okun people must equally check the influx of illegal foreigners and their criminal activities “as we must efficiently police and secure our environment.”
