Some members of Esure Ekiti  in Irepodun -Ifelodun Local Government Area of Ekiti State have appealed to Governor Ayo Fayose against pardoning seven persons  convicted of rioting and malicious damage in the community in 2014.

 No fewer than seven persons were convicted in 2014 after a bloody feud between two quarters of Ilomu and Ayinshin in the town. Those convicted are Ojo Adedara,Ojo Ayodeji, Ayilaran Ayodele Olabode, Babatunde Fayobi, Ajinde Afolabi , Anifowose Dare, Ilesanmi Sunday and Siaku Toyinbo.
