Photos: Yoruba & Hausa In Bloody Fight In Mile 12 Lagos, 3 Traders Burnt Alive
March 3, 2016 – Pictures: Hausa & Yoruba In Bloody Clash Near Mile 12 Market Lagos, 3 Traders Burnt Alive
All hell broke loose today after a Hausa motorcycle operator driving against traffic knocked down a Yoruba woman in Mile 12 area of Lagos.
He was told to take his victim to the hospital but allegedly refused. His refusal forced the Yoruba guys in the area to attack him. In the process, his colleague brought out a dagger and stabbed another Yoruba Okada rider to death.
Moments later, angry Yoruba guys mobilised and chased out some Hausa traders in Mile 12 market.
The Hausa guys later regrouped and launched attack on innocent residents of the area destroying building including churches and shops in the area.
3 of the attackers were caught and burnt alive as others fled after meeting a strong resistance.
Ambode has shut down Mile 12 market to prevent further destruction of properties and lives.
See photos from the scene of the attack

Hausas are permitted to go about with daggers. The law says they are nomads, and grants them the priveledge of carrying lethal weapons on their persons. That is very unfair and partial. These weopons come in handy at the slightest provocation, and people of other tribes are left in their mercy. And their mercy is a mirage. Even when they are clearly in the wrong, they still threaten you.
Nigeria needs urgent overhauling and re-orientation. We need to have a level playing field in this country. How can this partiality continue? It is still this premise that makes it such that a student from the south could score,say 200 in JAMB, yet not merit admission. But somebody from the north with a 150 score marches straight into the campus and the gates fling wide open.
Who actually owns this country? It is the northerner.

Hmmm It is quite unfortunate that so many things are going wrong in this our so called nation. I have never been proud of this country for once. Atimes i wonder y i’m here in d first place. Anyway one cannot really appreciate the value of peace without voilence. In my opinion, Nigeria is due for a referedum in absent of our sick and animalistic politicials. Hausa go ur way, yoruba dsame, igbo dsame simple.

FROM THE DAYS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST THE KINGDOM OF GOD SUFFERETH VIOLENCE AND ONLY THE VIOLENCE TAKE IT BY FORCE. THAT IS THE VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD MADE MANIFEST IN HIS BEAUTY. HERE THERE IS NO RELIGION INVOLVE, IT TRIBALISM MY BROTHERS. AND WHEN GOD SPOKE OF VENGEANCE HE DID STATE CLEARLY WETHER IT IS A CHRISTIAN HE WILL USE OR A PAGAN, OR A MUSLISM. ALL HE IN THE BIBLE IS THAT VENGEANCE IS MINE AND I WILL REPAY SAYS THE LORD OF HOST. SO THE ISSUE LETS JUST AVOID BLOOD SHED. SHALOM GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
