SOJI AJIBOLA, Ibadan
Two persons including an undergraduate student of Leed City University, Ibadan are feared killed and scores injured following a clash between men of the Oyo State Management System under the leadership of Mr. Mukaila Lamidi and shop owners in Iwo Road area of the state.
Business activity was paralysed during the period the attack lasted as motorists and passersby scampered for safety.

The attack aside from reported killings witnessed looting and destruction of properties.
After several hours of sporadic shooting, police from Iwo Road Divisional Headquarters were drafted to the scene to restore normalcy.
