Igbo Traders & Hausa Boys Clashed In Aba Abia
State Today, 2 Killed
Commercial
activities were brought to a stand still in Aba, the commercial home of Abia
State today after some Igbo and Hausa boys engaged themselves in a free-for-all
fight.
The clash which
happened around 12pm caused serious tension in Ogbor Hill axis of the city as
most business owners closed down their shops and fled.
The fight
started after a Hausa butcher at Waterside market murdered an Igbo trader
who cautioned him for urinating besides his shop.
In a quick reprisal
move, some Igbo traders quickly descended on the Hausa butcher and lynched him.
All the Hausa
people around the Aba abattoir at Waterside fled for safety after heavily armed
military men reached the scene of the attack.
Military Hilux vans
were stationed at strategic locations at Waterside along Aba Ikot Ekpene road
this evening to prevent hoodlums from unleashing mayhem on innocent residents.
