The invasion is coming less than two months after about twenty people were killed by yet to be identified gunmen who invaded Igangan town.

In the renewed attack, it was learnt that the gunmen who dressed in Customs uniform stormed the town around 8.pm and left after shooting sporadically.

One of the residents said, “The people thought it was customs officers until two people were killed.

“Local hunters mobilised to the area and they fled through Igboora.

“Amotekun officers in Igangan who were alerted laid siege for the fleeing gunmen who later killed the commander.”

Effort to get a reaction from the Oyo State commandant of Amotekun, Olayinka Olayanju proved abortive as calls put through his mobile phone were not successful while a message sent to him has not been replied as of the time of filing this report.
