This confrontation between the APC and PDP members in the state witnessed gunshots and the use of other violent weapons, leading to the death and killings of several others.

Speaking on the crisis in a tweet on Monday, February 17, Governor Adeleke disclosed that five members of the PDP died in the clash. He said two died in Boripe and another two died in Ola Oluwa while one lost his life in Ikire local governments.

Governor Adeleke then directed that all Osun residents, including politicians across party lines, desist from the local government as he ordered that all the councils should be locked and security agencies should take charge of the premises.

While describing the move by the APC members as a "failed illegal takeover", the governor said his decision was due to the withdrawal of service by the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) across the state.

The statement reads in part:

"Two of those members are from Iragbiji, Boripe local government. Another two were killed at Ola Oluwa Local government. Another one was lost at Ikire. We must stop further bloodshed.

I have directed security agencies to take charge of all local government secretariats."
