The House of Representatives has set up a Committee to investigate the Local Government Crises in Osun State that has claimed some lives in the State.
nine members of the House from Osun State sponsored a motion of urgent public importance on the issue.
The House therefore called on the Inspector General of Nigeria, the Director General of the Department of State Security and heads of other security to quickly restore peace, law, order and tranquillity in Osun state.
The Osun State House of Representatives Caucus lead by its Leader Mr. Bamidele Salam during Plenary told members that on Monday 17th of February 2025, violence broke out in several parts of Osun state as a result of an attempt to take over the administration of local governments by officials who were sacked by court judgement in November 2022.
According to Mr. Salam this violence resulted to killings and harassment by individuals and political interests in Osun State.
Adopting the motion the House urged the Attorney General of the Federation to properly advise all parties to the dispute in the control of local governments in the state as to the true position of the law and encourage aggrieved parties to seek judicial enforcement of rights rather than the use of force.
