Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has imposed a twenty-four hour curfew on Igbara-Oke, Headquarter of Ifedore Local Government Area of the State.
The State Government made this announcement in Akure on Thursday. The curfew is part of moves aimed at quelling violent clashes in the aftermath of a Councillorship bye elections.
The State Governor said the order takes immediate effect and remains valid until further notice. 
He said the situation “Was initially considered a peaceful protest in the town following the outcome of a Councillorship bye-election.” It has however degenerated into series of clashes after the protests were allegedly hijacked by some other groups.
“All Security Agencies are urged to enforce to the letters, this order. In the same vein, Traditional Rulers, Opinion Leaders and all persons of goodwill are enjoined to rein in their wards as non-compliance with this curfew order shall not be tolerated.”
