One person has been feared killed and several others injured as operatives of the Amotekun Corps in Ekiti State and traders at the Atikankan area of Ado-Ekiti clashed while enforcing a relocation order by the Ado Local Government Council.
Our correspondent gathered that the Amotekun operatives were trying to relocate traders from the major road but the people resisted saying they would not relocate to a new location at Agric Olope.
However, some of the traders who were not ready to comply with the new policy attacked the Amotekun officers while one of them opened fire on them.
According to reports, two officers of the corps were seriously attacked in retaliation by the traders.
