A woman was shot dead
yesterday morning around the Orinsunmibare market, near the popular old garage
in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, as drivers clashed over ownership of one
of the motor parks in Osogbo.
The elderly woman was one of
the labourers who usually stay around the old garage where bricklayers would
meet and hire them for work at building construction sites.
According to a witness, the
rival groups were shooting sporadically and the woman was hit by a stray
bullet. Her identity could not be ascertained at the time of filing this
report.
The body was evacuated by
the police and deposited in a morgue.
The Police Public Relations
Officer for Osun State, Folasade Odoro, confirmed the incident.
Odoro said that four
suspects had been arrested and assured that efforts are on to ensure that
others involved in the incident are apprehended.
