The Ekiti State Government has appealed to traditional rulers across the 140 towns in the state to synergise and form a strong coalition to stem the spiraling inter-city land tussles being witnessed in some communities.
The government posited that with love and unity among traditional rulers, some of the boundary crises being experienced in the towns would have been resolved before they snowball into violence and bloodshed.
The Deputy Governor, Monisade Afuye said this in Ado Ekitim today, while brokering truce in a land dispute between Esure and Ilomu Ekiti, in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
The government’s intervention stemmed from an accusation raised through petitions written by the two communities laying claim to the ownership of a parcel of land located in a border area between the two contiguous communities.
