The police in the state said the clash followed the defection of some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Alore area of Ogidi ward in Ilorin West Local Government Area to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)on June 13.

Residents of the affected areas said the clash, which kept most of them indoor, affected the social and economic activities.
The police said armed mobile police men had been deployed to the affected areas to restore peace while investigations were ongoing.
