A day that was suppose to be a celebration day where all Muslims celebrate life by sacrificing rams to commemorate and remember the day Prophet Ibrahim {A.S.W} fufilled his promise to sacrifice his son to Allah but was presented with a ram for the sacrifice, the day, christened Eil-Adha or Eid-il-Kabir was turned to a bloody day where human being rather than rams were killed and others injured as two royal families in Kwara state clashed, the after-match which resulted in the death of a policeman was while 15 civilians were injured.

The clash happened at the Ganmo Muslim praying ground in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

According to report, crisis began at the praying ground during a disagreement over who should lead the Eid prayers, atleast 10 cars were damaged and the palace of the Olu of Ganmo, Atanda Kolawole, was burnt down by suspected hoodlums during the clash.

There has been a long-standing chieftaincy tussle between Kolawole and the Okunoye family from Idi-Ape. The Okunoye lineage is allegedly opposed to the leadership of the Kolawole family, a matter which is said to be currently before the Supreme Court.

Some of the people injured at the praying ground were rushed to the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital and some private hospitals in the state capital.

Report also says,one of the feuding royal families allegedly recruited eight soldiers for the clash, a situation which resulted in a free-for-all.
