Ondo state government on Wednesday imposed a 24-hour curfew on Ikare-Akoko, the headquarters of Akoko North East Local Government Area of the State as a result of the violent clashes in the town over a chieftaincy title.

He said, “In the meantime, Government has ordered the immediate suspension of all activities relating to the Olokoja chieftaincy title.
