Custom operatives, not gunmen, raided Igangan, others causing three deaths - Oyo Govt

The police in the areas confirmed the death of one Amotekun operative and two other persons, following the said raid.

The Oyo State Government says officials of the Nigeria Custom Service, not unknown gunmen, raided Igangan and other parts of Ibarapa areas of the state on Friday night.

Mr Adisa said that the revelation was made known by Ibarapa community leaders during a fact-finding meeting between a team of the state government and political/traditional leaders of the affected communities on Saturday. “The political and traditional leaders of Ibarapa extraction at the meeting, described the Friday raid on Igangan, Igbo-Ora and other communities in the area by men of the NCS, as unnecessary and not well-thought-out.“It will be better if the authorities restrict them to border towns to end unwarranted attacks on innocent communities,” Mr Adisa said.
