Three persons were killed and several others injured Sunday in Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State as hoodlums reportedly clashed following a disagreement over a lady.
It was gathered that the incident began Saturday night. A resident, Alhaji Abdulrahman, told Daily Trust that the clash was between the Isale Oja and Oja Oba hoodlums in Offa.
According to him, one of the group leaders was said to have snatched the girlfriend of a member of the rival group which led to the clash.
