A clash between officers of Amotekun Corps and some youths has claimed three lives in Tapa of Ibaraba, Oyo state.
According to reports, sources, trouble started Wednesday night when some officers of the security outfit went to disperse some youths who were having fun during a street carnival.
“Those boys were having a carnival and probably they are expected to close by 10pm which they didn’t. The Amotekun told them to stop which took the boys some time to stop the sound.”
“In the course of trying to stop the carnival, there was an argument between the boys and the Amotekun which made the boys throw stones at the Amotekun officers.”
“Along the line, the Amotekun started shooting directly at them and now, at least 3 people have been confirmed dead while many people were injured.”
“Bullets are being removed from some people who did not partake in the carnival at all,” a source told Crimechannel.
The Commandant of Amotekun Corps, , Col. Olayinka Olayanju, who confirmed the incident, said he was on his way to the scene of the incident.
“I am on my way to Tapa. I am on my way to Tapa. I can’t tell you anything now. Because it is until I investigate. I am on my way to Tapa,” he said.
