At least six people were killed and property valued at
millions of naira was destroyed in a communal clash
that broke out in Ondo State between two rival
groups in Igbokoda, the headquarters of the Ilaje
Local Government Area.
The fracas occurred on Monday, June 2, 2015 and was
between supporters of the Olu of Igbokoda, Oba
Afolabi Odidiomo, and loyalists of a group led by a
Tale Iwatan.
The Oba Odidiomo, on Wednesday, June 3, told the
Punch that alleged that the Tale Group led by the said
Iwatan had become a terror gang in the
community. He called on the state government and
security agencies to stop the activities of the gang.
According to him, those that died in the attack were
Deji Enikanologbon, Ireayo Nana, and three other
friends of one Banji Orofin who was also allegedly
kidnapped and killed by Tale group.
The monarch explained that the group had allegedly
killed and raped many women in the town while
houses of those who challenged the group had been
burnt.
He said that the crisis began on Monday after the
abduction of Banji Orofin who was taken to a forest
known as ‘ Tale Sambisa Forest ‘, after which a search
party with police support went to rescue him.
He said, “Because we know what this group can do,
we sent a car to take the people from the forest but
they were ambushed by the Tale boys who set them
ablaze together with the jeep.”
He alleged that the group was being sponsored by
some leaders within the area.
“I want to appeal to the godfathers of these boys to
stop fuelling crisis in the area. I know a 33-year-old
boy cannot have money to buy and keep such a large
armory and sophisticated weapons,” the traditional
said .
However, the Tale group alleged that the violence
was the fault of the monarch.
They claimed that the monarch had sent hoodlums to
the Iwatan family house with guns and other
dangerous weapons. They added that the hoodlums
allegedly set two houses belonging to the Iwatan’s
family ablaze, when they could not abduct Tale
Iwatan.
A lawyer of the Tale Group, Mr. Koboju Atima,
speaking on behalf of the family, said two vehicles
belonging to the Iwatan family members were burnt
by the group loyal to the Oba.
