Two people were reportedly shot on Monday in Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State as members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) clashed following the resumption of reinstated council executives.
The crisis stemmed from a dispute between Governor Ademola Adeleke and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, over the return of sacked APC executives to office after their reinstatement by the Court of Appeal.
According to The Nation Online, APC executives resumed office early on Monday, celebrating their reinstatement and boasting about reclaiming control of the council.
However, as they left the council premises, they were ambushed by PDP members, leading to gunfire that left two people injured.
Security operatives from the Amotekun Corps later arrived at the scene, but APC members reportedly resisted their intervention.

Meanwhile, the Secretary to the State Government, Teslim Igbalaye later mobilised more members of PDP to the council which chased APC from the council. There was gunshots at the council when they clash resulting to shooting of members.
