There was pandemonium in Ikare Akoko, the headquarters of Akoko North-East Local Government Area of Ondo State as members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers clashed on Monday.
“After they were challenged, the drivers obeyed and left the park. But they later came back in their number and started throwing stones. When that was going on, the rain started and that made everyone leave the scene.
“After the rain subsided, they came out again with guns and started shooting sporadically. One person from the Okela axis was shot. He was rushed to Oke Royal Hospital where he was receiving treatment.” The state Police Public Relations Officer, Funmilayo Odunlami, confirmed the incident but said normalcy had returned to the community after the intervention of the men of the command.Kindly share this story:
