HOODLUMS KILL 2, BURN MONARCH'S PALACE IN ONDO COMMUNAL VIOLENCE
Hoodlums killed two persons and burned the monarch's palace at the Isinigbo Community in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State, police authorities confirmed to Eons Intelligence.
The attack was as a result of a communal clash in the community which escalated on Thursday, December 10.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Tee-Leo Ikoro told Eons Intelligence that the hoodlums burned the monarch's driver in his vehicle and another man who was shot in the stomach died in a hospital.
Police said some suspects involved in the incident have been arrested and normalcy has returned to the area.
"We have been able to arrest some of the suspects involved in the incident and investigation is still ongoing," Mr Tee-Leo Ikoro said.
He also urged members of the public to come to the police once there is any form of disagreement to prevent avoidable escalations.
"We advise people, once you discover that a problem is brewing up the first place you should go to is the police…. Something they would have avoided has turned into a fracas and then they are back to the police."
