Pandemonium broke out on Sunday in a clash that ensued between egungun (masquerade) worshipers and Muslims at Oluode Aranyin area of Osogbo, Osun state.
AMILOADED gathered that one person has been killed while many others sustained injuries during the clash that occurred around 2:30pm on Sunday.
The cause of the clash is yet to be ascertained by AMILOADED but sources claimed that it was a masquerade that stoned worshipers before the hooded gunmen opened fire on them.
Speaking on the incident in a telephone interview with AMILOADED correspondent, the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Opalola Yemisi confirmed that fracas occurred between the Masquerade people and the Muslims of the mosque.
“Truly there was fracas that occurred between the Masquerade people and the Muslims of the mosque which led to the death of one person whose identity is yet to be identified. Arrest has been made and investigation is ongoing to know the actual cause of the attack,” she said.
However, when AMILOADED correspondent contacted the Chairman of Osun state Muslim Community, Alhaji Mustapha Oluwuyi, he promised to get back to our correspondent for full report of the incident.
