There was pandemonium at the Agodi Gate area of Ibadan following a clash between some motorcyclists and officials of the Agodi Correctional Centre, Ibadan.
The cause of the fight, which started on Tuesday morning, could not be immediately ascertained but our correspondent gathered that two persons were allegedly shot.
Two mechanics told our correspondent that one of the victims was shot in the face.
One of them, who identified himself as Taye Odewale, said he was not sure if the victims are motorcyclists, traders, or passerby.
Another person selling drinks at the area, who confirmed the clash, said the youths in the area had made bonfires on the road to protest the alleged killings.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Mr. Olugbenga Fadeyi, when contacted said policemen and other security agents had been deployed in the area to prevent hoodlums from seizing the opportunity of the clash to attack the prison facility.
