Person suspected to be hoodlums have shot dead a farmer, surveyor, Tairu Badmus and his apprentice over a land dispute between Erin and Ilofa communities in Osun State.
Osun State Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Yemisi Opalola, who confirmed the incident said one of the suspects, Ibrahim Olaniran, 26, has been arrested while detectives were on the trail of others.
“The suspected leader of the killers, a popular figure in the community was still at large, but would be arrested to face justice.
It was gathered that the Erin community engaged the 50-year-old surveyor, who went to the site with his apprentice when the hoodlums struck.
He was said to be working on his farm at the time and his appeal to the hoodlums that he was just a farmer fell on deaf ears as he was shot many times.
Meanwhile, some aggrieved youths in the communities have threatened to avenge the killing of their kingsmen.
