At least, three policemen and several others were injured on Tuesday
when suspected miscreants around Apata area in Ibadan unleashed terror
on the area over sale of “faulty new” handset.
Trouble started when one of the attackers was alleged to have bought a
handset from an Igbo trader but discovered that it was not in good
condition. But in an attempt to return the handset, the trader refused
to accept it, claiming that it was purchased in good condition.
The refusal, according to an eyewitness who pleaded anonymity, provoked
the buyer who then mobilised his group who were alleged to have been
armed with dangerous weapons around the area to fight back.
According to the witness “The buyer is a Yoruba man and an ‘agbero’ who
got angry after discovering that the handset he just bought was not
good. The Igbo trader stood his ground that he would not accept the
handset. Before now, there were an unreported enmity between the Igbo
traders in the area and some suspected miscreants who collect
‘settlement’ from the traders and commercial drivers regularly.
“The buyer left but returned with many touts who attacked the traders
and chased them away. They also attacked other people while three
policemen were injured.”
The policemen, according to the eyewitness, were injured in their bid to broker peace between the warring factions.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Oyo State Police Command,
DSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, confirmed the incident. He said the police
command was aware of the trouble in the area, saying it was sparked by
the illegal money some miscreants collected from commercial drivers.
