No fewer than 20 people were reportedly injured on Saturday during the communal clash between the people of Share town and Tsaragi town in Kwara state.

THISDAY checks revealed that the incident happened following information that the people of Share have been embarking on tree felling on a land allegedly said to belong to Tsaragi town.

The development according to sources prompted the people of Tsaragi to mobilise themselves out and engage the people of Share in a gun duel‎. During the attack according to eye witness account from the two towns, at least 20 people were said to have sustained serious injuries, with no death recorded yet at the time of filing this report.
