Eight Killed, Scores Injured As Osun Communities Fight Over Land by MyopicMods(op): 5:08am On Oct 07, 2023
Osun Communal Clash: Eight Killed, Scores Injured As Gov’t Takes Over Disputed Land.

Eight people, including an infant, have been reportedly killed in a communal clash between Ifon and Ilobu communities in Osun State.

THE WHISTLER had visited some of the affected areas and observed that houses were razed and properties destroyed during the clash, which occurred overnight on Thursday as a lingering dispute over a piece of land escalated.

Residents of the two communities, especially women and children, were seen carrying their belongings and leaving their homes for safer places.

The communities were deserted, with security operatives taking over some flashpoints where violence could erupt again.

Speaking in an interview with THE WHISTLER, the Jagun of Ilobu and spokesperson of the Olobu-in-Council, Chief Adegoke Ogunsola, alleged that the police were biased, saying that a policeman fired several gunshots at the high-tension wire in Ilobu, damaging the cable.

Since yesterday when a police officer did that, we have been thrown into darkness in Ilobu,” he said. “They (Ifon people) used the opportunity to attack our people at night. Four of our people were killed, including an infant. The mother and others were shot and are receiving treatments at Osun State University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.”

If it were Anambra or the South east,the speed with which Nairaland APC mods would have moved it to the frontpage for their 30k dogs to attack,the same way they move a false thread to frontpage because the mischievous op said it happened in Anambra,where are there even tigers in Anambra that a debtor will paint his dog like a tiger to chase people he is owing?

Most of these communities in Nigeria re only gud at fighting and killing themselves over land dispute and other trivial issues. But would run like a scared little puppy when Fulanis attack them. You can stand and fight ur brother but can't fight an intruder.

Every where in Nigeria is just restless.

We seriously need to revamp our security so as to make them proactive.

It's obvious our security architecture is next to zero.

It's easy, the government should take over the land and use it as a cementry to bury their dead.

I thought that the Yorubas could live anywhere they want. If so, what's the essence of clash over land dispute?

News like this is common in the east where people hold onto their ancestral lands.
