Members of the commission, who visited the clash scene on Thursday, assured parties involved in the crisis of neutrality.
During the visit, members of the commission did a sight-seeing of some affected buildings and addressed leaders of both the Yoruba and Hausa indigenes.
Addressing the Ooni of Ife, chairman of the commission, Justice Moshood Adeigbe, explained that all parties would be given fair-hearing.
He assured the monarch that members of the commission would not trade their integrity for anything.
He said the commission was out to ensure that the real perpetrators of the dastardly act were brought to book and ensure that all warring factions were appeased.
"We are here to inform you of our mission. We are men of integrity and we assure you that we will be totally neutral in our duty. We will do our job without fear or favour to anyone or group in the matter. We hope to have your support," he added.
Reacting, the Ooni pledged his support and that of his Chiefs in ensuring that the members of the commission actualise their mission.
He admonished them to avoid bias, stating that they should be honest in their investigation.
He informed members of the commission that many Yoruba leaders were interested in the outcome of their investigation.
While narrating how his trip to the United Kingdom fostered peaceful co-existence, he said, "I consulted with my people government and Commissioner of Police before travelling few days after the incident happened. My trip to the UK was for very important reasons and I met many northern leaders who helped to speak to their people.
"I am pleased to receive you all; I am fully with you. As you have said, please be neutral so that you can get to the bottom of what triggered the unfortunate incident. Because it happened at the epicentre of the Yoruba race, a lot of people are interested in the outcome of your mission. I have received many phone calls from different part of the world as regards this and I pray such doesn't occur in any part of the country again."
Recall that Osun State Government had set up the commission to investigate and determine the remote and immediate cause of the disturbance, identify the perpetrators and extent of involvement, determine the extent of injury suffered by any individual or group.
They are also mandated to recommend appropriate civil or criminal action to be taken against the perpetrators, make appropriate suggestions to the State Government towards the prevention of future occurrence.
They are also to recommend appropriate monetary sum as compensation(s) for damages or injuries that may have been suffered by any individual or group of individuals in respect of matters received by it.
Members of the commission who have been given four weeks to work are: Justice Adeigbe who is the chairman, Mrs. Bose Dawodu DCP (rtd), Barrister Ismail Ajibade, the State Commissioner of Police, the State Director of DSS and Mr. Bisi Babalola who will act as the secretary.

husband and wife quarelling, they should settle it well ooo.
ReplyDeleteThey have to be neutral if not, another thing might happen.
May God comfort all who lost on this ile-ife clash
Who is husband and wife o
DeleteI thought Ooni said the clash has been settled reason why he traveled taking pictures and smiling in London while his people were dying? Is this guy for real? SMH
ReplyDeleteGive me knife make him go fight. Anofia, ewu

DeleteSTFU MR Hustler, Were you not in London making connections while your people were losing their lives? You are fir your hustle and BTW, there is no need for those unnecessary noises you make with those guys following you. I have never seen OONI Sijuwade make those unnecessary noises during his time and here you are traveling with the whole village on every trip abroad. Is that necessary? Cut it off.
ReplyDeleteSorry to say but where was the Ooni during the clash? In London meeting with the Prince while his people were dying? Shame on him for abandoning his people while they were dying just to meet the Prince Charles. This man to be honest, is not a real King but a bloody lousy hustler. A real King would have postponed traveling to London, while the crises was going on in his jurisdiction. A Yoruba adage says "You do not go to sleep while your house was burning". How dare he travelled outside the country doing photo ops while his people were dying? Only in 9ja will such situation happens. Honestly it doesn't make sense to me that he will make that trip during that period even if the purpose was to meet Trump. KINI BIG DEAL MEETING A PRINCE WHILE YOUR PEOPLE WERE DYING? I guess he has bought his way from the Media reason why they all turned the other eyes and couldn't call him out for what he did. Very unsympathetic towards his people and shame on him. Once an Hustler will always be one as leopard doesn't change his skin. (Stella I hope you posted this comment since you are part of the people that get paid for PR). Y
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the fuss Hausas are having on the clash as if that was not how they have been killing innocent Christians in the north and the herdsmen killings. They should better free them
ReplyDeleteThe Commissioner of Police in Osun need to be called to order. Why would he arrest only Yorubas for the ethnic clash that happened in the rustic state. In every clash two parties are involved. I don't understand why the hausa are always invincible after committing crime. Also in all the herdsmen killing spree, non of them have been arrested....
ReplyDeleteHausas n Yorubas are brothers n sisters so d shd settle their problems
