Worried by political violence in Idanre local government area of Ondo state, the paramount ruler of the town, the Owa of ldanre, Oba Fredrick Aroloye, has threatened to invoke ancestral curses on sponsors and perpetrators, if they failed to stop forthwith.

Oba Aroloye, at a meeting with political parties, their leaders and top politicians held at the palace, expressed concern over the bloody clash between the members of the leading political parties in the council area.

He equally expressed sadness that hoodlums were turning his kingdom into a war zone because of their individual political ambitions and selfishness.

The monarch said that the meeting was called “to ensure peace continues to reign in the land in the wake of some inconvenient situations that occurred in the area recently.”

While warning all politicians in town to eschew all forms of crisis, Oba Aroloye, asked the police to arrest those found with dangerous weapons and intimidate the people across the town.

He appealed to concerned parties to withdraw previous cases with the police to facilitate reconciliation and peace ahead of the election
