Oyo State Commissioner of Police Ngozi Onadeko has said that those behind the attack on Fulani community in Igangan, Ibarapa Local Government Area of the state will be brought to justice.
She also blamed the violence in the area to the visit by Sunday Igboho on Friday evening.
This is contained in a statement by spokesman of the Oyo police, Olugbenga Fadeyi on Sunday.
“Sadly, the relative peace and calmness, being enjoyed, due to the visibility patrols of the security agencies were truncated by the visit of Sunday Igboho to Igangan, at about 1630hrs on 22nd January 2021.
“The visit had culminated in a mob action by some youths in the town, who, armed with different types of weapons, embarked on arson and a breach of peace. In the process, grievous hurt was committed against one of the police officers, while discharging his statutory duties.
“The commissioner of police will like to reiterate that the security agencies will not watch while some criminal elements take laws into their hands.
“Investigation into the arson and the breach of the peace, which occurred at Igangan will be investigated to logical conclusion and culprits shall be brought to justice,” she said.
