BREAKING: Two feared dead as NURTW, shop owners clash in Oyo

Two people were confirmed killed on Wednesday when men of the Oyo State Park Management System under the leadership of Mr Mukaila Lamidi (also known as Auxiliary) allegedly attacked some shop owners in Iwo Road area of Ibadan, the Oyo state capital city on Wednesday.

The attack on the shop owners was said to be in continuation of an earlier attack and a counter attack between the Auxilliary PMS boys and members of the proscribed National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) on Tuesday.

Two persons were said to have died from the PMS and banned NURTW camps on Tuesday.

One of the sources informed our reporter that a son of the owner of the shopping complex in Iwo-road who was allegedly killed was coming to park his car in the front of his mother’s complex but some members of the defunct NURTW had already parked their vehicles at the parking lot.

The source hinted that a brawl ensued following a hot altercation between the tenants in the complex and the members of NURTW, a development, which degenerated into violent chaos, forcing many shop owners and traders to flee the scene.
