The monarch said the new restrictions of movement which took effect on Saturday, January 29, is aimed at checking the activities of criminals in the town.

Ile-Ife, a town referred to the ancestral city of the Yorubas, in recent weeks has been experiencing cases of insecurity. It was gathered that some criminals are beginning to infiltrate the town to unleash mayhem on residents.

The development, according to a statement issued by Ooni through the Lowa of Ife, Chief Abraham Ademola, prompted Oba Ogunwusi to give his blessing on the imposition of a night curfew on the town.
