The police officer allegedly shot a man suspected to be a member of a confratanity and a woman who was also at a restaurant beside Total Filling Station.
According to eye witness account, some policemen traced the suspected cult member to the restaurant and opened fire on him while he was eating. In the process, the police shot an innocent woman who was also at the scene.
Reports have it that the woman died on the spot while the police officers fled the scene.
This incident aggravated the members of the affected cult group who teamed up and headed for the Topon Divisional Police station. They demanded for the officer that killed their member but to no avail.
There are however speculations that Topon police station and Elere police station in Oke Agbo were set ablaze by the aggrieved confraternity. This has not yet been confirmed at the time of compiling this report.
At about 12 noon, law enforcement agents were seen arresting and parading people suspected to have involved in the clash.
Senator Buruji Kashamu representing Ogun East Senatorial District, had a peace talk with the two factions.
According to an indigene of the community “ it was the officers that wanted to start another problem in the town because after senator had talked to them things changed, there was nothing like crisis.”
Does that mean that the peace experienced in the town after the peace talk with the two fractions will be sustained? Only time will tell
