Great Riot Breaks Out In Lekki, Hausas And Yorubas At War (photos) by gowap(m): 5:18pm On Nov 30, 2014

A riot broke out this morning in Durosinmi Eti Axis of Lekki Phase 1 in Lagos between Hausa commercial motorcyclists and Yoruba shuttle bus drivers.

The riot occurred as a result of an attack carried out by Hausa commercial motorcyclists on Yoruba bus drivers who drive some of the estate’s shuttle buses last night.

The entry route into the estate was blocked by rioters armed with machetes and other dangerous weapons, leaving many stranded outside, causing traffic along the Lekki Expressway.

“It all started yesterday when the Hausa Okada riders attacked the bus drivers, they shattered the windows of their buses and injured a few bus drivers. This morning, the drivers with the help of some men caught some of these okada riders and beat them to a pulp”. an eye witness disclosed.

The reprisal attack was said to have led to the burning of several motorbikes. ‘They can’t come here and attack us, we will find you and kill you’, one of the rioters was quoted to have said.

In early November, the Lekki residents association placed a ban on commercial motorcyclists, making public announcements in the estate, explaining that both okada riders and passengers will be arrested if caught.

The whole incident might well be looked upon as an ethnic clash between Yoruba and Hausa tribes; most bus drivers are mainly of Yoruba extraction while the okada riders are of Hausa extraction.

The default setting of an average Nigerian now is ethnic orientated.

Thus the Op gave this an ethnic coloration when it clearly wasn't. There are many Yoruba okada riders.

This is what happened @ Ore in 1999 where the Gambaris killed many including a Baale and ransacked the whole town.

Hmmmmn. Oh my Nigeria, where is the LOVE. Not surprised about it though. Was Already prophesied of in the Bible. EndTimeThings. Will advice everyone of us to turn away from our evil ways. No one knows when his own life will be taken so be prepared because after death comes judgement. Just seeing d dead bodies of d Kano bomb blast victims today made me weep within myself, I couldn't stand looking at it. Humans being inhuman to his fellow humans. No wonder the Bible says the heart of man is so so wicked. May GOD deliver us all IJN. AMEN

Some thing should be done urgently before it gets at of hand unlike the one that happened in 1998 at mile 12 market that sent hundreds displaced and death.

When we tell them that lagos is a no man's land, they refuse to believe.





I wonder what gave them the impetus to fight their masters.

May we not experience what happened in Idi Araba between the Hausas and Yorubas some years back again. We don't need tribal wars for the poor when the rich are dining together irrespective of political differences.
