Residents of Ilesha-Baruba in the Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State are still mourning the death of three persons after a clash between security agents and some youths last Friday in the area left three dead.
Men of the Joint Border
Operation Drill securing the Nigeria/Republic of Benin border posts were accused of firing shots that killed the trio identified as Hakeem Muftau, Abdulqudus Saadu and Zubair Halidu.
Two versions emerged regarding what led to the clash. The first stated that trouble started when security agents mounted a roadblock on the Ilesha-Baruba-Sinawu road and ordered a commercial vehicle driver to pay N200 but he refused.
