Specifically, the council said it would no longer tolerate any act that could jeopardise the tradition of the community and the peaceful co-existence of the people

The Olukohi of Aboto, Oba Ofoaye Oyetayo, who spoke in an interactive session with non-indigenes of the town, advised them to be law abiding and to respect the   culture of the land.

The traditional ruler particularly cautioned a group called “Idiogbe,” to steer clear from any act that could deter the progress of the town through rifts between them and indigenes of the town.

He said, “I am not happy about   the undue interference of some non-indigenes in the traditions of the community. Such act is a taboo against our ancestors.”  

The monarch noted that Aboto is an accommodating community and would not want anything to affect the mutual relationship between the indigenes and non-indigenes

“Everyone of you has a place where he or she comes from and as sojourners in another person’s land, you must respect and obey the culture and traditions of this land,” the monarch warned.
