At least one person was killed and others injured in a clash between Ilobu and Erin-Osun communities in the Irepodun Local Government Area of Osun State.
Report says the clash ensued following a disagreement on land related issues between the communities.
According to residents, some indigenes of Ilobu, residing in Erin-Osun, were attacked by residents of Erin-Osun, and this provoked a retaliatory reaction which has caused residents to flee their homes.
Men of the Nigerian military have been deployed to the area to avoid further crisis, but they are not at the exact scene of the incident.
