VOICE AIR MEDIA News Update

OSUN: On Wednesday, the operatives of Western Nigeria Security Network(WNSN) codenamed Amotekun engaged in a fight with men of the Nigerian Immigration Service, in Osogbo, the state capital.

The clash, which witnessed sporadic shooting, started with an operative of Amotekun and NIS having a confrontation around 10:45am in front of the Osun Government House Annex, Oke-Fia, Osogbo.

The operatives shot into the air to scare themselves, making residents scamper to safety as business owners around that area closed their shops.
