No fewer than two people reportedly died while property worth millions of naira were destroyed following a
clash between Fulani traders and Yoruba natives of Oro-Ago in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara
State.
Our correspondent gathered on Wednesday that some irate youths allegedly razed at least five vehicles and
10 motorcycles said to be owned by some Fulani people in the ensuing pandemonium.
A source, who pleaded anonymity for fear of attack, told journalists in Ilorin that the mayhem was allegedly
caused by Fulani-Bororo settlers who, allegedly flouted a rule in the area that the settlers should never
bring arms, ammunition and fighting sticks from their settlements to market on Oro Ago market days.
He stated that some armed Fulani traders came to the market on Monday.
He added that the vigilance team and hunters in the area accosted them, seized the weapons from them
and later kept them at a place in Oro Ago town.
The source said the leader of the Fulani people in the area, popularly called Serikin Fulani, surprisingly
stormed the place where the ammunition were kept with his people, carted away the weapons seized by the
vigilance team and handed them back to the Fulani traders.
The source said the hunters and vigilance team attempted to retrieve the re-captured weapons from the
Fulani people.
According to him, violent clash erupted between the two camps, leading to a breakdown of laws and order
as weapons were allegedly used freely by the warring parties.
Police Public Relations Officer, Kwara State Police Command, Mr. Ajayi Okasanmi, said it was untrue
that seven people were killed during the clash.
He claimed that two people were killed.
