The police boss said six cutlasses, one sword, one spear, a gallon of petrol, boxes of matches, unregistered Jetta Volkswagen car, charms and amulets were recovered from the suspects.
His words: ”On January 9, 2014 at 12.20 a.m, hoodlums numbering over a 100 were heard by residents of Baboko area of Ilorin shouting “kill them and destroy them,” firing gun shots indiscriminately and before the arrival of policemen, cars, houses and property yet to be evaluated were destroyed.
“One Babtunde Sulaiman, male, 18 years, died as a result of the injuries he sustained in the course of the fracas.
“In the process of investigation, it was discovered that the crisis arose as a result of argument over a girl friend between two opposing groups of miscreants known as Adabata OPC and Baboko Boys”, he said
He added that the case was still under investigation.
The police command also paraded four members of a six-man robbery gang, and recovered exhibits such as three sharp cutlasses, one Toyota Corolla with number plate ABC 76, three motorcycles and two cut to size guns.
