Two reportedly killed as violence rocks Ikare again

By: Adeboye Ado

Market women and shop owners on Monday scampered for safety, after a tough pandemonium which broke out in Ikare-Akoko, in the Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo State.

The crisis, it was gathered, has led to the death of two persons, while houses were burnt to ashes.

Meanwhile, some residents who spoke with our reporter on telephone, lamented that security agents were not enough to douse the tension while the Ondo state government was advised to immediately declare a curfew in the town and find a lasting solution to incessant and senseless conflict in the town.

The cause of the crisis was yet to be ascertained as at the time of filing this report.
