The Deputy British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Jonny Baxter, has expressed concern over the rising insecurity in Osun State, describing the violence as a worrisome development.
He made this remark on Wednesday, during a courtesy visit to the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, at his palace.
This is according to a press release signed by the Director, Media and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace, Moses Olafare.
Addressing the Ooni and other dignitaries at the gathering, Baxter lamented the destruction of lives and property for political reasons, stating that such violence undermines the peace for which Osun State has long been known.
“I have known Osun State to be a peaceful place for the past 15 years. Seeing and hearing about the destruction of lives and properties for political reasons is deeply condemnable,” he said.
