A middle-aged man known as Jamiu Sadiq has reportedly been killed while a number of others sustained various degrees of injuries in a fracas that ensued between two youths groups in Ejigbo Osun state.
The unrest was said to have started on Sunday 19th of June, over disagreement on the sharing formula of an undisclosed amount of money said to be dropped by a politician.
A police source who confirmed the incident to Radio Nigeria said nine people had been arrested concerning the incident and have been transferred to Osogbo.
Meanwhile, some residents of Ejigbo who condemned the antisocial behaviour said the entire ancient town was still in panic over the lingering attack and fear of continued reprisal attacks.
There are indications that a political rally of one of the governorship candidates scheduled to hold tomorrow has been rescheduled following the unrest
