The situation in Ikenne, Ogun State revolves around a crisis sparked by youth insisting on celebrating the Oro festival despite its ban by the state government.
This ban stems from concerns over potential unrest amid a longstanding kingship dispute.
The youth’s defiance led to protests and escalated to burning tyres, prompting a confrontation with the police. As a result, 20 individuals have been arrested and two vehicles impounded.
The state Commissioner of Police affirmed the police’s awareness and measures taken to maintain peace amidst the tensions.
