10 killed, 30 missing as Amotekun allegedly ‘joined hoodlums to attack Northerners’ in Oyo

At least 10 people have been killed, 70 sustained gunshots injuries and over 30 Northerners declared missing in a deadly attack on Sasa Market traders in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.

DAILY NIGERIAN gathered over 6,000 Northerners, mostly Hausas, are currently taking refuge at the residence of Sarkin Sasa, Haruna Maiyasin.

“I have over 6,000 displaced people packed in my house. Many people have been killed, while others injured,” Mr Maiyasin told DAILY NIGERIAN.

Witnesses said the crisis erupted on Thursday when a porter carrying a basket of tomato inadvertently nudged a Yoruba woman. The woman allegedly retaliated and organised a group of Yoruba thugs to avenge.

DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that after the fight, one of the thugs died in the hospital.

When the news of the death circulated, the Yoruba youths allegedly gathered and started attacking the Northern traders.

In a interview with DAILY NIGERIAN, the chairman of Sasa Market Traders, Usman Yako, said they informed the police immediately after the report of the death, but the police did not promptly respond to their call until the situation went out of control.

“We called the police to inform them about the issue, and possible break down of law and order, but they did not take action immediately until the situation deteriorated,” he said.

According to Mr Yako, when the operatives of the regional security outfit, Amotekun, came, they started shooting at Northern traders instead of protecting them from attack.

“When Amotekun came, they started shooting at Northerners. The hoodlums started setting houses ablaze, shooting and burning Hausa traders’ shops.

“It is apparent that it was a targeted attack on Hausas and other Northerners.

“The attack also spread to the Lagos-Ojo Expressway, which is not far from the market. Trailers belonging to Northerners were looted, burnt down, and the drivers slaughtered.

“We were invited to Government House yesterday (Friday), and two of us were delegated. Nothing was actually done to avert the crisis and safeguard our lives.

“We have so far counted 10 bodies in the hospital. Over 70 people sustained gunshot injuries. 30 people, including my own brother, are missing,” he added.

On Saturday, Governor Seyi Makinde imposed a curfew on the area and shut the market indefinitely.

A statement by Taiwo Adisa, the spokesman for Governor Seyi Makinde, indicated that the governor gave the order to forestall breakdown of law and order in the area.

The curfew is to run from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m.

The statement warned residents of the affected area to go about their legitimate businesses peacefully, stating that anyone caught perpetrating violence will face the wrath of the law.

Problem nor dey finish... Amotekun vs Miyetti Allah go be like Eibar vs Barcelona. Verdict; Away win

Friendly Match

You people think you get monopoly of violence, you go come they claim victim when dey change am for una

See how they are trying to twist the story
Very bias report

This is not all about what happened between the said hausa and the woman, the fact remains that southwest are tired of these people.
Ranging from herdsmen to robbery to kidnapping, we're just tired.
I pray this won't lead to Civil war.
Buhari is not helping the issue, Makinde is fucking up

It is not about makinde. Thugs in ibadan can destabilize the whole south west. Hausa and yoruba have history of deadly fights especially in mokola and ojo

Kai
Someone caught the bad end of miyetti juju thus, everywhere Burst.
Tribalism is here to stay, just like gun violence in the US

This is wrong

Gov. Seyi. Makinde did not try at all in that fraca.. I drove through that fraca enroute Oyo township around 8pm on Friday evening and it was terrifying!! I expected to have ensured the accused Hausa guy is duly arrested & took charge of the situation but he allowed the hoodlums practically took over holding dangerous weapons and for an incidence that reportedly started late in the afternoon.. it took several hours before any action was taken..The destruction would have been minimal had the Governor acted promptly..

Ibadan is really degenerating into lawlessness that place can't be governed with kid gloove.

RIP to Ajimobi

If care is not taken, all this issues when noor dey finish will turn into a full scale civil war

The south west used to be a very peaceful region before now, just wondering what has happened to my belove region.

The governors, traditional rulers and the Nigerian law enforcement agencies need to do something urgently before things go out of control.

If proper care is not taken and this mess degenerated into a full scale war, south west may become the flash point.

This will get worse if not contained ASAP... Reprisal attacks will even be worse than what we are experiencing now.

For once Government should be responsible enough to put an end to these senseless killings.

Lol.. You no like Afonjas oo, you no even give them x2.

Orchestration of pdp and their politicians/ afenifere. They wanna breakdown d APC alliance

Cry cry babies, we are tired of you guys and you must leave our land for us.
This is small to what will befall you terrorists if you try any shit

Daily news with their incitement propaganda news.Although any mallam that will cause any trouble shall be handle p.

this is simply a misplaced priority. Hausas are peaceful people.

Nonsense

When I told my fellow Northerners that the entire North is the target, not Fulani, them sey na lie. You see?

See eh, those guys believe all Northerners are the same. Back then in school, na Aboki them dey call all Northerners, whether you be Idoma, Igala, or any tribe as far na Northerner you be, you be Aboki.



So I am appealing to all Northerners in the SW to be careful or come back home. Those guys are looking for ways to loot your business. As EndSars no work, they are exploring creative ways to loot. So make una be careful.

May God help Nigeria.

Omoluabi1stborn:


Northerners are parasite to Nigeria that needs to be fumigated

Shebi una see? Please Northerners be careful. Apart from fear of being used for ritual, there's also the risk of unprovoked attacks by hoodlums. Please don't go out late. Always walk in group and protect yourself. If you can't protect yourself, please come back home. It's not worth it.

God bless Nigeria.

This is the chaos, anarchy, impunity and lawlessness president Buhari have bequeathed to Nigeria because of his bigotry, clannishness and ethno-religious supremacist agenda

Aboki killed one, Yoruba killed 10, injured 70 and displaced 6000


.

With a stern voice and in a strict manner, addressing the evil ones among the Fulani herdsmen,
This is what our darling Daddy should come out to say in few hours from now on National TV.

I am cattle rearer myself.
I have cattles.
That is my business,
And that is your livelihood also.
I do not support killings, kidnappings, raping of Nigeria Citizens.
For the evil ones amongst you going about causing violence, whatever you see, you should live with it, cos right now,
I will send out the Army to fish you bad eggs all out and protect my innocent citizens in their communities.

No Violence act will be encouraged under my watch.

And for the ones killing and burning innocent citizens businesses.
Destroying the properties of people that have been living in peace with you for many years, people going about their businesses legitimately, we will come for you also.

And this will be my final warning to everyone causing mayhem and Violence in this nation.

God bless Nigeria.

I Rise!

DeBiafran:
Forget that sh!t ''northerners running out of patience'. What u all don't know is that the revolution that will lead to a civil war will start from north retaliating. Every region is tired of the menace of the herdsmen so once north starts over there, all northerners in other places will bear the brunt. Hausas in the north will fight against the Fulani, all the minorities in the north will fight against Fulani. This is reason the powers that be have not started retaliation in the north. Madness is going round already in Nigeria

You just jumped into our mention tuaaaa!
Dis is what the coward bastard and porn.star idiot called Cownu told you in your whatsapp group about the Hausas abi??
So this was his plan all along.
Kontinue......okay?
We won't say more than that.......for now!



As seen somewhere on cyberspace....

Where's Tinubu, the leader of yoroobas?

Yoruba people go run from their community

And they are against ESN Who only chased them out and didn't kill them

Welcome development

Buhari's nepotism is bearing fruits already

The worst is that people warned about this

Wetin concern me

I have saved 50k out of 3.5m wey I wan use Japa enter Canada.

We mueve.

Why are yorubas attacking peaceful Hausas..
What is wrong with this yoruba people..
Cowards that cant face the foolanis

Until we stop this archaic way of using cows to destroy people's farmlands, this circle of violence will not stop. Do not use your business to affect others, cow rearing is a private business. This is dumb. Ban on open grazing, will also put kidnappers and bandits out of business, because then, living in the forests will be declared a felony, and forest guards and rangers can move in, to engage people occupying lands in the forests illegally.
