Ibadan notorious gang leader, Ebila, has been murdered around Kudeti area, at about noon on Sunday.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that there was a clash in the area in which security agencies responded to.
Ebila’s gang was suspected to have murdered another gang leader, Ekugbemi, earlier in the year and there had been fears of reprisals.
