His Imperial Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has issued a statement condemning the recent fighting between Hausas and Yorubas in Ile-Ife which led to the loss of many lives.
Signed by his Director of Media, Moses Olafare, the statement said the crisis is very unfortunate and that it was caused by agents of backwardness and devastation.
“Kabiyesi is very unhappy about the whole crisis," the statement said. "He has always treated the Hausas residing in the town as his subjects and has tremendously enjoyed the loyalty of their leadership, that is why he has not left any stone unturned to bring the avoidable ugly situation to normalcy by acting promptly upon receiving a report of an altercation between a Yoruba woman and a Hausa man on Tuesday evening.
"Baba immediately sent some chiefs to address the situation which was amicably resolved and we all thought it was over until we wake up the following morning (Wednesday) to hear that they had started attacking one another. He quickly informed the security agencies who responded very swiftly,” the statement said.
The Ooni also praised governor Rauf Aregbesola for his efforts in ending the crisis.
