The ancient city of ile-ife was on a hot burner on Wednesday when land owners and gold miners clashed leaving one man Segun (Aka Obejo) dead and atleast one other Ope (Aka Number 1) seriously injured. It happens that a monitoring group who worked closely with the palace has been warned by some set of families to stay away from family and personal farm lands in Itamudi, the Itamudi farm area is believed to be heavily blessed with gold and all other mineral resources. The surrounding lands have already been desecrated for gold mining activities 

Mining in ife has become a major problem since the Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi mount the throne and simply so, he's the only figure that can put an end to it. Personal Investigations reveals mining activities in ife have already been excessive and aggressively hijacked by some individuals all in the name of occupying a chiefly or priesthood position in the ancient city, thereby colonizing personal and family land for mining activities, the monitoring group who wouldn't adhere to the strict warning had two of his members attacked they are the terror group used by the chiefs to seize farmlands for their nefarious activities.

Right now, under the nose of a highly revered Ooni, a state government, and all other influential figures in the state of Osun, IFE Gold is turning Red and all influential individuals have bloods on their hands, like blood diamond in Uganda, if the gold mining escapades isn't nip in the bud quickly enough, it might degenerated into a huge issue of security and destructions of lives and property. Right now, the country is sitting on a keg powder,  any issue boardering on security could easily degenerated into huge crisis.

The unrest leading to the protest has been evident since yesterday as ife security is hanging on a tight rope, youth troop out in multitude with guns and all other havoc wrecking ammunition's with a protest in front of the palace and Moore police Station. It was promptly shut down while all uniform men in the station run for dear life. The government should step in on time and put some people under serious investigations and subsequent punishment for any guilty party,  else, it will not end well . But if an arrest is made on time, it will definitely calm all all fray nerves.
