The peace of Okefia area of Osogbo, the Osun State capital was disrupted in the early hours of Wednesday as operatives of Western Nigeria Security Network(WNSN) codenamed Amotekun and men of the Nigeria Immigration Services(NIS) clashed. 

The incident happened in front of Amotekun’s head office located inside the Government House Annex, Oke-Fia area of Osogbo. 

The crisis led to a gun duel among the rival operatives which led to tension in the area as shop owners were forced to close their businesses and ran to safety. 

As at the time of filing this report, the cause of the clash is not yet known but visitation to the scene by Radio Nigeria revealed that the leadership of the two agencies were holding a meeting inside the premises of the Amotekun head office. 

It was observed that operatives of NIS were on the premises with four of their patrol vehicles while the Amotekun corps were also on the premises. 

Efforts to speak with the leadership of the agencies were not successful as the operative denied our correspondent access to the office where the meeting was being held.
