Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has imposed dusk-to-dawn curfew on Awo-Ekiti in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area, to douse the raging tension over Obaship tussle.
The restriction, which affected human and vehicles, is to take effect from 6pm to 6am in the morning.
The community had been entangled in crisis in the last one year following the enthronement of Prince AzeesOlaleyeAladejuyigbe as the new Alawo of AwoEkiti, before it snowballed into anarchy on Saturday.
In a bid to ward off any litigation that could stall his ascension to the throne last year, the State government had hastily enthroned Aladejuyigbe and immediately presented him with the staff of office.
Speaking on the occasion in Isan-Ekiti, Oye Local Government Area of the state, Governor Fayose said as the leader of the state, he had no axe to grind with anybody and would never interfere in traditional matters.
