Propertie worth millions of naira including a palace and many houses have been destroyed in a clash between Isinigbo and Ode communities in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State.
The crisis between the communities escalated Friday morning when hoodlums attacked Isinigbo community.
The two neighbouring communities had been engaged in clashes for some time.
A source said that two unidentified persons were killed in the attack.
But the Public Relations Officer, Ondo State Police Command, ASP Tee-Leo Ikoro, who spoke on Channelstv, confirmed the incident.
Ikoro however said that he was not aware that lives were lost in the attacks, adding that he was yet to be fully briefed on the extent of the damage.
Recall that Ondo State has witnessed increased in crime rate with the recent murder of a prominent traditional ruler, Oba Israel Adeusi, in Ose Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
Also, the Ondo State Security Network Agency, also called Amotekun Corps, earlier in December arrested some herdsmen armed with dangerous weapons while rearing their cows, entering farmlands, eating and destroying planted crops.
Amotekun vowed that they were not relenting in flushing out criminals from the state.
