Apprehension As Fulani Herders, Hausa Traders Clash In Delta
But the time the dust which the skirmishes raised clear, no fewer than ten persons have reportedly sustained varying degrees of injury.
It was learnt that some shops at the market were destroyed during the clash that occurred on Monday.
According to report in SaharaReporters, the clash led to tension, apprehension and gridlock as many motorists fled the area, leaving their vehicles behind.
A source said trouble started on Sunday night after a Fulani herder allegedly stabbed a Hausa boy.
It was learnt that Hausa traders were enraged when they saw the stab wound.
“The Hausa people in the market retaliated by attacking the Fulani herders’ settlement around there. The Fulani people also fought back and a full scale crisis started,” the source said.
It was learnt that operatives from Sapele Police Command led by CSP Harrison Nwaboisi, later went to the scene to restore peace and order.
Similarly, at least six people were reportedly killed in February while several others sustained varying degrees of injury when Yoruba and Hausa communities clashed at Shasha market in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The clash also saw vehicles vandalised, kiosks, shops, houses and various other structures razed and destroyed.
