"We shot one person dead  the  day  the P DP held their rally at the TBS. After the rally, some of our boys shot dead one Otun who came with  his boys to engage us in a fight. It was one Layi, our gang member, who shot him. The following day, the APC faction came to Enuwa area  in a reprisal attack and we killed four of their members.
