Three die in fresh Ganmo violence
Three people, including a councilor, have been confirmed dead in the renewed violence at Ganmo community in Ifelodun Local Council Area of Kwara State.
The Guardian had Thursday exclusively reported the death of two persons. But the Spokesman of the state's Police Command, Olufemi Fabode, had denied the death of anybody.
The violence broke out on Tuesday three months after the Igbomina ethnic group and their Ilorin counterparts, who both form the largest population of the community, clashed over chieftaincy and land matters in which lives were lost and property destroyed.
The renewed clash is said to be connected with matters relating to the previous violence.
It was gathered that the clash started when some people allegedly tried to stop those working on the reconstruction of their buildings, which were damaged during the previous violence.
A source close to the community said that those who allegedly led the attack had claimed that nothing ought to be done on the property until existing legal actions over the dispute have been settled.
However, Fabode, who yesterday in Ilorin confirmed the killing, said the councillor was killed on Tuesday while a man and a woman were killed on Wednesday, adding that the police had taken control of the situation with the violence dying down.
