These people, according to the police boss, were from Modakeke.“This incident generated anger in the minds of Modakeke youths, and some hooligans from modakeke armed themselves with different weapons to take revenge against Ife indigenes, presumed to be behind the killing.

“The police arrested the situation and obstructed their ugly attempts. Several peace meetings were held, and undertakings made to prevent a repeat occurrence,” he said.
