According to an eyewitness, “gang members of Daduro’s group started destroying property and molesting people at Ota-Efun in Osogbo this morning. They were claiming that their leader was killed. They also told traders not to open their shop for business today and tomorrow”
It was also learnt that Ota-Efun motor park was not spared in the dastardly act as several vehicles were reportedly damaged.
