dc.description.abstractIn 1968/69, the Yoruba enclave of southwestern Nigeria was engulfed by socioeconomic upheavals engineered by the poor resource farmers. The Agbekoya Riots that rocked the Yoruba speaking parts of southwestern Nigeria to its foundation ushered in tension, disaster, chaos and total insecurity in the entire length and breadth of the Yoruba land. Due to the seemingly unending havocs that were wrecked on the people and polity, the military government of Western State found it expedient to find out the root causes of the spontaneous riots organized, supervised and executed by the peasant farmers whose action pervaded the entire Yorubaland. This need led to the setting up of the Justice Ayoola Commission of Enquiry. Therefore, this paper is written to address the constitution, mandate, finding and recommendations of the said Commission, which was the brainchild of the military government of the affected State. Thereafter, a critique of the Commission’s findings is undertaken.en_US
