According to reports, trouble started when the Agbekoya leader was going with his horde of followers to the meeting but one of the soldiers deployed to guard the main gate of the secretariat stopped him and said he would not be allowed to go in.
This was said to have angered one of the followers who reportedly challenged the soldier for stopping their leader.
The leader of Agbekoya at Ajibode, Waheed Baba Ijebu, who is also the Otun Oluawo Ajibode, while narrating the incident to newsmen, said no one died.
“Baba Akekaka was coming to the meeting with his boys and the soldiers there asked why are they shouting and singing. He prevented them from going in and one of the boys said he didn’t have the right to stop them.
“The soldier slapped him and he slapped the soldier back. He cocked his gun and fired him many times but the bullets did not have an effect on him. The bullet went and hit one okada but the rider was not injured. He fell down but he was not injured.
