Governor Ademola Adeleke has taken steps to address the recent killings in Osun State, issuing an executive order that provides for the establishment of an investigative panel.
The decision comes amid concerns over the loss of lives and growing calls for authorities to establish the facts surrounding the incidents.
The newly constituted panel will be tasked with looking into the events that resulted in the killings and examining the circumstances before, during and after the violence.
It is also expected to make recommendations that could help the state government prevent similar incidents in the future and improve the protection of communities.
For families and residents affected by the violence, the investigation could provide an opportunity for their concerns to be formally heard and for authorities to establish accountability where wrongdoing is confirmed.
The Adeleke administration has indicated that maintaining security and protecting residents remain key priorities as the state responds to the situation.
Further developments are expected as the panel begins its work and gathers evidence from relevant individuals and communities.
