“Perpetual peace has returned to the entire Irepodun and Orolu Local Government areas of Osun State. We appreciate the monarchs,” it added.
It, however, said releasing the White Paper would promote public confidence and engagement of the concerned stakeholders towards lasting resolutions.
“The release of the expected White Paper will promote public confidence in transparency, accountability, policy guidance and engagement of the concerned stakeholders towards lasting resolution on communal clashes.”
