A violent clash, in the ancient town of Ile-Ife, on Wednesday left no
fewer than five people dead, as Hausa settlers and Yoruba indigenes
clashed. Read more below......
According to DAILY POST reports, an eye witness, Mr Kamoru Fatai at Sabo area of the town, which is
predominantly Hausa settlement said that the crisis started
when a Yoruba man accused an Hausa man of taking advantage of his wife.
The disagreement, however, snowballed into serious crisis when the
kinsmen of the Hausa man ganged up to defend one of their own.
The development eventually led to the death of five persons, around Sabo while several property were destroyed.
Also, some group of youth were sighted at Lagere junction of the
town, embarking on retaliatory mission for what they termed an affront
on their rights.
Meanwhile, the Police Public Relation Officer(PPRO) in Osun State, SP
Folashade Odoro, when contacted for comment said, “we are managing the
situation, it is under control”.
