A dispute over the kingship of Araromi-Owu, a town in Osun State's Ayedaade local government area, is said to have resulted in the deaths of two people on Tuesday.
It was learned that the unrest began around 2:00 p.m. when a group of thugs broke into the town and began to cause problems.
Numerous individuals were also hurt, according to the sources, who also mentioned that the situation had been escalating since last week before it finally turned into a major emergency. A Lexus jeep and other cars were among the damaged vehicles in a video that was posted on social media and viewed by the public.
One of the sources, who does not want his name in print said the hoodlums also burnt the community palace.
It was also gathered that some hoodlums waylaid a batch of security operatives deployed to the community inflicting injuries on some personnel.
Confirming the incident, the Osun police command spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola said a mobile police force has been deployed to the town along with a special police unit to restore peace.
