According to the verified twitter handle of the Oyo State government, the market was shut after gunshots were heard in the market. The state government had directed that the butchers should relocate to a new abattoir outside the town but the butchers did not agree with the directive.
The clash reportedly began when some of the butchers accused their leaders of taking gratification from the government to support the relocation order. The clash led to the closure of shops in the market while traders vacated the market because of the commotion.
God help and keep our people safe.
