Ilaka brought out money and threw it to distract the people in order to give him passage.

As his driver was turning the vehicle from the scene, another set had stormed the place and blocked the way again despite that he had escaped into the car and rolled up the glasses.

A relation of one of the killed people disclosed that her brother was at the Festival to sell his cartridge when he met his untimely death.

Reacting to the matter ,Superintendent Ade.Ajisebutu said that the police would take the case to court after discreet investigation.

He warned that all politicians arming their aides should release such weapons to the police or face the wrath of law.
