One person has allegedly been killed when officers of Amotekun Corps clashed with traders at the popular Atikankan area of Ado-Ekiti in Ekiti State.
According to Vanguard, the clash occurred on Thursday when the Amotekun officers were trying to relocate the traders from Atikankan area of Ado Ekiti to the new location provided by the government at Agric Olope.
However, some of the traders who were not ready to comply with the new policy attacked the Amotekun officers, and one of them opened fire on them.
It was gathered two officers of the corps were seriously attacked in retaliation by the traders.
The area has been taken over by armed policemen to avert further crisis.
The Ekiti State Police Command and the Ekiti State Amotekun Corps are yet to react or speak on the matter as at the time of filing in this report.
