Gunshots Heard As Hausa, Yoruba Youths Clash In Lagos
The minor clash between Hausa motorcyclists and members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, in the Iyana-Iba area of Ojo, Lagos, quickly degenerated into a tribal clash, early Monday morning, as Hausa and Yoruba youths confronted themselves, wielding dangerous weapons.
The fracas according to eye witnesses began when Hausa motorcyclists gathered themselves to protest constant harassment by the road union members, after an Hausa motorcyclist was allegedly beaten and stabbed to death.
The fight which began with exchange of stones between members of the union and the motorcyclists, soon degenerated into a full blown crisis, as sporadic gunshots were heard at the scene.
Shouts of โe no concern unaโ, was barked at passerbys, as supposed members of the road union, tried explaining to whoever cared to listen, that the fight was between โus and aboki demโ.
As at the time of filing this report, the Vanguard reporter who was caught up in the scene of the clash, revealed that more Hausa youths were seen rushing towards the Volks area of the road, purportedly from nearby Alabarago, where one can find them residing in their numbers.
The crisis has compelled the management of LASU to close the gates of the school as students and members of staff have been urged to remain within the premises.
