Executive Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde has on Saturday ordered the closure of Shasha market in Akinyele Local Government and subsequently imposed a dusk to dawn curfew on the affected areas.

Violence broke out in the Shasha market during the week over a suspected ethnic crisis between Yoruba and Hausa residents of Ojoo, Moniya area of Oyo State.

As a result of the crisis, one person has reportedly died after he was allegedly attacked with native charm.

In a statement released by the Chief Press Secretary of Oyo State, the Governor imposed a 6pm to 7am curfew on the affected areas in order to restore peace.

The statement also appealed to the residents of the affected area to abide by the law, as any offender caught would face the wrath of the law.

The statement reads, “His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde has directed the immediate closure of Shasha market indefinitely following reports of a breach of peace in the area. The governor has also approved the imposition of curfew on Shasha. It will run from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. Residents of the affected area are enjoined to go about their legitimate businesses within the hours stipulated by the law. Anyone caught disrupting the peace of the community will be made to face the wrath of the law.”
