Event Summary

Ademola Adeleke, the Governor of Nigeria — Osun State, imposed a 24-hour curfew on Nigeria — Igbajo, Boluwaduro Local Government Area, following a breakdown of law and order.

Ademola Adeleke condemned the violence and directed the Nigeria — Nigerian Army, Nigeria — Nigeria Police Force, United States — United States Department of State, and Nigeria — Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps to maintain 24-hour surveillance in Nigeria — Igbajo to restore peace.
