One person was shot dead on Thursday when personnel of Amotekun Corps in Ekiti State clashed with traders at the popular Atikankan area of Ado Ekiti, the state capital.
It was gathered that fight broke out when the Amotekun personnel were trying to relocate the traders from Atikankan area to the new location provided by the government at Agric Olope.
However, some of the traders who were not pleased with the new policy attacked the Amotekun officers, while one of them opened fire on them.
It was learnt that two officers of the corps sustained serious injuries during the attack.
The area has been taken over by armed policemen to avert further crisis.
