It was a hard truth that needed to be told, because it changed the atmosphere, but not for good as one person was reportedly killed and over10 critically injured.
Without any warning or provocation, over hundred boys armed with cutlasses, sticks and AK47 rifles, from suburbs and communities such as: Odogbolu, Ososa, Idoha, Ikenne, Ijebu-Imushin, Sagamu and Imodi unleashed mayhem as they disturbed the peace of the area. The rioters ignited the violence from the night before the Eld adha celebration.
The hoodlums were said to be looking for one Akeem Adesanya dead or alive. Akeem Adesanya, Bashiru Suraju Sanni, Bayo Adetunde and Hamzat Mammne were the alleged bisexual individuals being hunted by the hoodlums.
They claimed that many young men all around the town were missing and the story behind their disappearance is the fast spreading tale of strange immoral behaviour and characters (homosexuality). The rampaging youths believe that religiously, culturally and naturally Nigerians would not allow, condone or accept such highly unscrupulous behaviours.
Homes and families of the alleged victims were attacked over failure to produce them.
They accosted a young woman, mother of two, begged for her life and confessed that she has not set her eyes or know the whereabouts of Akeem Adesanya, her baby father for the past two years.
The uprising was subdued by the community elders in order to keep and maintain the peace in the community.
