He also warned that nothing untoward should happen to them.
No fewer than 300 Hausa were taken captive by the Yoruba.
Oba Ogunwusi appealed to the warring factions to give peace a chance because, according to him, there is no gain in crisis.
Speaking through his media aide, Comrade Moses Olafare, the monarch said he had instructed some palace men to see to the rescue of the Hausa who were captured by the Ife.
He said peace would soon be restored between the two warring factions.
He said: “As Hausa are sojourners on this land of Ile-Ife likewise Ife indigenes live in other towns and cities across the country and in diaspora.
“Let’s give peace a chance and maintain peace and harmony in the land.”
Also, the Elejesi of Ejesi Kingdom, Ife, Oba Babatunde Awosunle, called on the people to allow peace to reign in the land. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Oni, may ur days be long! But sir, if na the hausas, they will not even hold captive, they would have ki%lled them, I expect same to happen to the 300 people. Sir, see what happened in kaduna in Dec.2016, till today, hausa elites did not say anything. Our leniency is killing us & this people are taking us for granted. Sir, ur request to release the 300 people will not make hausas to reason & be patriotic in the future, nothing change for good on their minds. Infact, it is better to separate totally from hausas, b/c I keep causing the colonial master who intentionally created all tgese mess for us.
