An electronics and telecommunications gadget market in Abuja, Banex Plaza, is still shut down following an alleged altercation between soldiers and some traders in the market.

A visit to the market on Monday 20th May saw soldiers across the plaza.

Some traders who assembled at a distance from the plaza were seen leaving after waiting for hours.

None of them was willing to grant our correspondent audience but they were heard lamenting the cost implication of having the plaza shut on a major day like Monday.

It would be recalled that, trouble started when thugs allegedly beat up some soldiers who had a minor disagreement with a trader in the plaza.

According to reports, the trader had reportedly sold a bad phone to someone who invited soldiers.

Meanwhile, rather than resolve the issue amicably, the trader reportedly invited thugs who assaulted the uniform men.

They descended on at least two soldiers and another man in mufti. The thugs who broke into groups slapped, kicked and beat up the soldiers.

Your country army already embarrassed themselves by going to do thug work.
Fellow thugs beat them up.

So now they have brought out their government issued guns, and regrouped like cultists, after getting beaten up man to man.

And there is nothing you or your IPOB brethren can do about it.

How are they finding out?

As they are not selling, the government is also losing out on daily taxes. And we know how much this administration loves revenue.

And be careful what you support. Information reaching me is that the FG has waded into the matter but some generals are refusing to buckle. This might just be an indirect daring of Tinubu by some ranking northern military men.
