One Shot Dead During Carnival In Osun
A ye-to-be-identified young man has been shot dead during a pandemonium that ensued at a carnival organised by some youths of Igbaye in Odo-Otin local government area of Osun State.
The incident happened on Monday afternoon following a disagreement between two rival groups that attended the event.
Daily Mail gathered that members of the warring factions shot sporadically into the air while macheting their perceived enemies who attended the carnival, adding that they were armed with cutlasses, daggers, axes, broken bottles, charms, clubs, and other dangerous weapons.
It was learnt that trouble started when one member of a faction accused the DJ of playing certain songs to abuse the other group and ordered him to stop, a decision that didn’t go well with the other group.
The State Police Command Spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the incident but declined comment on the number of casualties.
She however assured that the command would get to the root of the matter.
