The Oyo State Police Command confirmed on Friday the death of a man who was beaten by another man in Ibadan.
DAILY POST has learned that a Yoruba identified as Adeola Sakirudeen was struck Thursday by an object suspected of being a charm Thursday at Shasa Market by a man of Hausa origin.
It was learned that Sakirudeen had died as a result of the attack.
Sakirudeen’s death prompted hundreds of traders from Shasa Market in Ibadan to desert the market on Friday.
The death of the Yoruba man has infuriated his colleagues to take revenge on the market known to sell and buy products such as tomatoes, pepper and other products from northern Nigeria.
The brewing tension drove the majority of traders to flee the market.
Some locals and other communities have also deserted their homes for their safety for fear of attack, a resident told DAILY POST.
State Police Command spokesperson Mr. Olugbenga Fadeyi confirmed the death of the deceased.
Fadeyi, while confirming the death, however described the clash as a fight between two social disbelievers.
He said: “It was a clash between two social disbelievers in which one of the disbelievers, Adeola Sakirundeen ‘m’, was hit by the other and later died while being treated in a hospital.
“CP, SA security and other police tactical teams attended the scene for an on-site assessment.”
Fadeyi, while speaking further, added that police have been deployed to stop further public order violations in the area.
He also insisted that normalcy had returned to the region.
“The massive deployment of police and sister security agencies were made to ease tensions.
“Critical stakeholders have also been consulted to appeal to the population.
“Normalcy is gradually returning to the region.”
