Pandemonium broke out this morning in Tapa, Ibarapa Area of Oyo State following the alleged killing of two youths by Amotekun Corps yesterday evening.
Report says some youths in the area took to the street vandalizing houses while people were running helter-skelter for safety.
Two residents in the area, Mr. Taiwo Adeagbo and Mr. Sunday Fadipe explained that the youths took to the street in retaliation of two persons that were allegedly killed by some officers of Amotekun.
Radio Nigeria gathered that the Amotekun Corps had wanted to prevent staging of carnival proposed by some youths of Tapa community which eventually resulted in chaos that led to the death of two persons while seven others got injured.
Effort to get the Police Public Relation Officer, Mr. Olugbenga Fadeyi, to speak on the development, was not successful as he did not pick his call.
Meanwhile, a former gubernatorial aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Dr. Olusola Ayandele has condemned the activities of some criminal elements in Ibarapaland which have culminated in the killing and kidnapping of many residents.
In a statement, Dr Ayandele called on Governor Seyi Makinde to act swiftly to restore peace and security in the state, particularly Ibarapa and Oke-Ogun axis.
He called on eminent people of Ibarapaland to work together to arrest the trend and ensure that the whole of Ibarapaland is safe.
Dr Ayandele regretted that within a space of one month, some notable indigenes of Ibarapaland have lost their lives in the hands of suspected herdsmen.
He sympathized with all the victims of previous attacks and pray God almighty to grant them reprieve in all forms.
