What  began  as  a  minor  clash  between  Hausa  motorcyclists  and  members  of  the  National  Union  of  Road  Transport  Workers,  NURTW,  in  the  Iyana-Iba  area  of  Ojo,  Lagos,  quickly  degenerated  into  a  tribal  clash,  early  Monday  morning,  as  Hausa  and  Yoruba  youths  confronted  themselves,  wielding  dangerous  weapons,  CorrectBN  has learned.

The fracas according to eye witnesses began when Hausa motorcyclists gathered themselves to protest constant harassment by the road union members, after an Hausa motorcyclist was allegedly beaten and stabbed to death.

According to Vanguard, the fight which began with exchange of stones between members of the union and the motorcyclists, soon degenerated into a full blown crisis, as sporadic gunshots were heard at the scene.

Shouts of “e no concern una”, was barked at passerbys, as supposed members of the road union, tried explaining to whoever cared to listen, that the fight was between “us and aboki dem”.

As at the time of filing this report, the Vanguard reporter who was caught up in the scene of the clash, revealed that more Hausa youths were reportedly seen rushing towards the Volks area of the road, purportedly from nearby Alabarago, where one can find them resident in their numbers.
