Police enforce closure of Isinkan market following tensions over Akure festival

Only pharmaceutical businesses were allowed to open while the festival was ongoing.

But later in the day, security operatives appeared at the market and ordered the closure of business.Markets in most parts of Akure were in full compliance with the Deji’s order, even though some shops had opened in the outskirts such as Oda town and Ilekun. The Iralepo of Isinkan later denied that the closure was in compliance with the order of the Deji of Akure in respect of the festival.

“The government gave the directive that for security reason, and not for the festival of aheregbe, for security reasons and for peace to be maintained in the local government, that we should allow our people to stay home and that was why we asked market women to close and go home, not for the festival, on the advice of the state government.”

“We are both in the same local government and Isikan is a distinct town from Akure because we have our own customs and traditions different from the Akures.
