At least one person has been confirmed dead and others injured in a clash between Ilobu and Erin-Osun communities over land dispute in the Irepodun LGA of Osun State.
It was learnt that some residents have fled their homes and there are still gunshots in some parts of the troubled areas.
The military has been deployed to the area but they are not at the exact scene of the incident.
According to residents, some indigenes of Ilobu, residing in Erin-Osun, were attacked by residents of Erin-Osun, and this provoked a retaliatory reaction.
Following the clash, the government has declared a 24-hour curfew in Irepodun and Orolu LGAs of the State.
In a statement on Sunday, the Secretary to the Osun State Government, Prince Wole Oyebamiji, stated that the curfew was to douse tensions in the troubled area.
