PMParrot’s attention was first drawn to the development after some of them took the war to the social media.

Many Nigerians have since been condemning the unnecessary bloodshed in the rather sleepy town of Ikere Ekiti.

The development has been confirmed to be true by the Ekiti State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Sunday Abutu. He said three people have so far been arrested.
