“We can confirm that three people lost their lives in the clash that broke out between the hoodlums following a disagreement over a lady.
“The fight was between two groups who call themselves the Isale Oja and Oja Oba in Offa.
“Before the arrival of police men dispatched to the scene, two members of the warring gangster groups, Samad Adeyemi, 21, and Abdulahi Mohammed, 20, have been shot dead. Another unidentified person died later in a hospital.
