Happening Now: Butcha, Police Clash In Oyo State
As a result of the sporadic shooting that occurred Thursday morning at Bodija market in Ibadan, Oyo state government has shut down the market for security reasons.
The Aare Laatosa LCDA chairman, Adekunle Oladeji said the closure is to prevent the loss of lives and property of the citizenry. It is also to guard against the escalation of the violence in the market to other parts of the state.
The state government had directed that the butchers relocate to a new abattoir outside the town but the butchers did not agree with the directive.
On Tuesday, the butchers staged a protest at the state secretariat in Ibadan over the demolition of the abattoir in the market by the government over the weekend.
It was garnered that today’s clash began when some of the butchers accused their leaders of taking gratification from the government to support the relocation order.
The clash led to the closure of shops in the market while traders vacated the market because of the commotion.
When contacted, Public Relations Officer of the Oyo State Police Command, Adekunle Ajisebutu, said he would come up with a statement on the clash soon.

Pleteau Killing: “I Am Not Part Of This Government And Will Never Be”- Ahmed Indimi
Ahmed Indimi, President Buhari’s Son in-law, who was busy comparing heaven and earth while others were mourning the loss of lives in recent Lagos explosion, was called out by a lady for not using his platform to speak out against wickedness and injustice going on in Nigeria.
@toniaero took to his Tweets;
You are busy comparing heaven and earth Mr Ndimi! Are you aware of the fire incident that happened in Lagos that has miserably taken the lives of people ?? Are you not aware of the killing of innocent citizens of Plateau state and many others ?
. Have you seen your father in-law in nothing but a darkness to this nation?? People are dying on daily basis, yet nothing is being done about it. Can’t you use your platform to speak out against wickedness and injustice going on in Nigeria?! There’s God!
Buhari’s son in-law's re-Tweeted;
What happened in Plateau is quiet unfortunate, I agree with you. May the soul of the departed rest in perfect peace. I believe the Goverment is doing what they are doing to stop this from happening again and I am sure you will say it should have never happened in the first place. It happens everywhere, there was a shooting in Maryland today and there other bad things happening around the world that are not preventable. I did not know about the fire in Lagos by the time I posted my picture, that’s why I was busy comparing earth and heaven.
No my father in law did not cause it and he had nothing to do with it. Now that I am aware of the incident in Lagos, what could I have done to prevent it? I am not part of this Goverment and I have never been and will never be. Take your problems elsewhere, I am a private citizen just like you. I have never responded to anyone’s tweet, be rest assured this is the first and last time I will. I am quick to delete and block. Have a good day @toniaero
