In Ago Dada, Ondo State’s Akure North local government area, four youths are said to have been killed by a thunderstorm.
According to newsmen, the incident happened on Wednesday evening, March 30 during a rainstorm in the village.
The death of the youths reportedly sparked a protest in the village on Thursday, which resulted in the death of an elderly man and property destruction by the enraged youth.
