Adeleke thanked traditional rulers—the Olufon, Olobu, and Elerin—as well as local leaders for their role in restoring order and urged them to continue their peacebuilding efforts.

He also called on the 100-member Boundaries Resolution Committee set up for the three communities to hasten its work in resolving lingering disputes.
