Gunmen have killed an Amotekun commander in Igangan in the Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State, throwing residents of the area into confusion.
The sad event reportedly occurred on Friday night when the gunmen invaded the town shooting for over 30 minutes.
Some other eyewitnesses said they did not know the number of persons killed by the gunmen.
The gunmen were said to have loaded themselves in four vehicles, two of which were Toyota Hilux and Sienna.
The assailants, who were reported to have dressed in customs uniforms, were said to have been initially repelled by the local hunters.
The fleeing hoodlums were said to have escaped through Ayete.
The Secretary of Farmers Union, Mr Taiwo Adeagbo popularly known as Akowe Agbe, claimed that the attackers wore military uniforms.
Adeagbo said, “The attackers wore military uniforms. They opened fire on those they met when they entered the town. They shot for some minutes and before the hunters could get to where they were, they had fled.”
The Coordinator of the Oodua People’s Congress in Oyo State, Mr Rotimi Olumo, also said his members in Ibarapa told him that the attackers wore Customs uniforms and killed one person in Igangan, one person in Ayete and a member of the Amotekun Corps at Igboora.
