The Alaafin of Oyo, has clarified the earlier directive on movement restrictions in Oyo town, stating that there is no curfew, arrest, or detention of violators as previously mentioned.

In a statement issued by the Chief of Staff, Rotimi Osuntola, the palace acknowledged concerns raised by some residents over the restriction of movement during certain hours amid the ongoing Orò Ipębí rites, which are part of the traditional coronation process for the new Alaafin, Oba Abimbola Abdul-Akeem Òwóadé I.

The statement explained that terms like “curfew,” “arrest,” and “detention” were used in the traditional context of Orò rites in Oyo Kingdom and were not intended to be coercive or infringe on human rights. The palace also emphasized that the directive was not meant to interfere with Ramadan or Lent observances.

“His Imperial Majesty himself, being a practicing Muslim and a man of Iman (faith), will never toy with human rights and freedoms enshrined and guaranteed by the constitution,” the statement read.

The palace confirmed that Oba Owoade has now directed that the curfew order be withdrawn, as he remains committed to peace and unity among his subjects. However, residents have been urged to be cautious in areas where the Orò rites are taking place.

The palace also expressed regret over the wording of the initial release and assured the people of Oyo that they can go about their daily activities without fear of arrest, detention, or harassment.
