Pandemonium broke out on Thursday afternoon at the New Garage area of Ibadan between some corp members and four police officers when the officers demanded money from the youth corpers.
A witness who does not want his name mentioned said the problem started when the officers during stop-and-search at Odo Ona Kekere had allegedly demanded money from them.
This angered the corp members and they allegedly drove off in their Toyota Muscle car.
The police officers were reported to have immediately given them a chase and caught up with the corps members at the New garage where they allegedly shot at one of them.
