Communal clash looms between Osogbo, Iragbiji over boundary matter

Crisis is brewing between the Osun State capital, Osogbo, and Iragbiji, headquarters of Boripe Local Government area over a boundary matter.

Meanwhile, the Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdulrasheed Olabomi addressing newsmen pleaded for the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, Governor Ademola Adeleke, Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi and the state Council of Obas

He said: “The expansionist tendencies of Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, expressed on a private radio station in Osogbo where he laid claim to the land between Omu River which is our common boundary and Boredun which is an Ilase Community on the right and Iragbiji Community on the left on Osogbo/Ibokun road needs to be checked.

“It is necessary to state that the boundary between Iragbiji and Osogbo had been settled since 1905. Appeals against the 1905 decision as well as Administrative inquiries all attest to the authenticity of River Omu as the boundary between Iragbiji and Osogbo. In 2022, Oba Oyetunji whipped up political sentiments laying spurious claims to Iragbijiland. Osogbo community even took the matter to the State Boundary Commission, which eventually concurred with the earlier established Omu River Boundary.”

He noted that no amount of intimidation, harassment or threat will allow the people of Iragbiji to leave any part of our land to the Ataoja of Osogbo, who is on an expansionist mission.”

When contacted Ataoja’s Personal Assistant who simply identified himself simply as Yekeen said” “Kabiyesi is engaged with palace matter. He will get back to you.”
