Two injured as Sabo residents, Amotekun operatives clash in Ibadan
Two persons were injured on Friday when some residents of Sabo community in Mokola area of Ibadan, Oyo State, clashed with operatives of the Western Nigeria Security Network otherwise called Amotekun Corps.
The clash occurred when operatives of the Amotekun Corps attempted to execute an arrest in the area, but were resisted by some members of the community.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed the incident in a statement Saturday in Ibadan.
He said that two individuals were injured as a result of the clash.
“The said clash occurred between operatives of the Amotekun Corps and residents of Sabo, leaving two individuals injured,” he said.
The PPRO, however, said the reason for the attempted arrest of some residents of Sabo community by Amotekun operatives could not be immediately ascertained.
Mr Ayanlade said that the state Commissioner of Police, Abimbola Olugbenga, had ordered a thorough investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident.
