Three dead as Hausa, Yoruba youths clash in Ibadan

The killing of a Yoruba man by a Hausa man in the Sasa area of Ibadan, Oyo State has led to a war between members of the two ethnic groups.

According to the state chapter of the Western Nigeria Security Network, also known as Amotekun, the crisis has led to the death of three people.

 

It started when a Yoruba cobbler was reportedly killed by a Hausa wheelbarrow pusher in Sasa, Ojoo area.

It was learnt that the wheelbarrow pusher hit the cobbler with a charm on Thursday evening but the former died the following morning (Friday), leading to the clash.

An eyewitness told SaharaReporters in Ibadan that trouble started when the Hausa wheelbarrow pusher hit a pregnant woman with his wheelbarrow, which angered the cobbler.

A resident of Sasa who spoke with our correspondent, Alhazan Kabiru, on Friday said the police had been able to bring the situation under control.

Kabiru said; “I heard the cobbler beside our shop died this morning. I was around Ojoo when the incident happened. I heard It was as a result of an argument between one Hausa guy, who hit a pregnant woman with his wheelbarrow on Thursday. Though I don’t really know the Hausa guy, I know his group of friends. The police are here now and they have been able to control the situation but that yesterday night was hell.”
