“In the process, three of the hoodlums were killed, while the others made it look as if Amotekun personnel had killed indigenes of the town.

“Immediately, they burnt down the Amotekun patrol van and destroyed the agency’s office in the town.

“Not done, they began moving round the town, burning the houses and properties of Amotekun personnel in the town.

“Personnel of Operation Burst are already in the town to restore order,” the source said.

Efforts to get an official confirmation from the spokesperson of Amotekun proved abortive as his phone was not connecting.
