The Ondo State Government has frowned at the recent allegation by the Ogun State Government that the residents of Irokun Community in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo are attacking the Ogun citizens in the area.
The Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Noimot Salako-Oyedele, made the allegation at a press conference recently, claiming Irokun and some other communities in Ilaje land were part of her state.
However, Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, said the allegation is patently false and has become a pattern of alarming propaganda by the Ogun State Government as a strategy to reinforce their false territorial claim on Irokun, Obinehin, Idigbengben, and Araromi community’s seaside.
According to her, the Ondo State government is committed to securing the lives and properties of its residents, insisting the towns are legally and administratively within Ondo State territory and cannot be claimed by neighboring state.
