Three persons have been confirmed dead in the
Hausa/Fulani clash that happened at the Abbatoir
area in Agege, Lagos state yesterday September 7th.
According to eyewitnesses, trouble started two days
ago when a Hausa girl was allegedly beaten up by a
Fulani man without any cogent reason. The matter
was reported to the Serikin Fulani in the area but he
did not take any action to address the complains from
the Hausa community who then took laws into their
hands and attacked the Serikin's palace. The Fulani's
decided to go on a reprisal attack yesterday
September 7th.
Houses and cars were burnt during the attack.
Officers of the Lagos state Rapid Response Squad
were on hand to help maintain law and order.
