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
Hausa, is time they relocate to their area, to hell with them, they belive they owns all naija,they can do anything or kill nothing will happen. we should seperate and go our seprate ways pls, in yoruba land again not hausa land, make accident refused to take the person to hospital, end up killing 3 people and distory property…. no way, they are the one kidnapping young Christian and gal 13ys force to marry without parents and pregant.
Let’s say no to Violence & tribalism…Nigerians pls lets be wise
Mr governor, the best u have done. With this I hope peace will be restored. We can’t continue to fight and destroy properties. May God help us all
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.
hmmmm it was so serious, it happens behind my house in agiliti mile12, in fact every one is on the run now cos we don’t know what will happen at night, it was even the intervention of the mobile police that calm the situation down a bit. hmmmm it was really God day helped us.
Emeka what about Ibarra agitation?

from one problem to d other. pls let’s shun ethnic violence n embrace peace
That their poisonous dagger….. May God help us in thiz country
They should settle whatever dispute they have amicably. Say no to tribalism
Say baba
cant believe we still have mumus in this country
This Hausa people are not supposed to be part of this country. They should be taken out of Nigeria cos they are cannibals
this is serious
Fighting will not help in this type of case. Wisdom and fairness.
Is nigeria slowly turning into anarchy?
I don’t know what Nigeria is turning into
hmmmmmmmmmmmm, lord have mercy
Hausa people has taken mile12 has their father land,pls let act with action.
I thought they are brothers… because in Yoruba land,most of them are Muslim…
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.
Pls hausa and yoruba peoples remember we are made up of one God. so, do not allowed devel to tempted u guys hooo…..
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.
