One Dead, Many Injured As Hausa And Gbagyi Youths Clash in Bwari Near Abuja A violent clash has broken out between the Gbagyi natives and Hausa residents in Bwari, an Abuja suburb leaving one person dead and many injured. The main market in the area has been set ablaze by the warring parties. Also, residential buildings were not spared in the melee. Soldiers have been deployed to the area to quell the unrest and prevent an escalation. It was gathered that the town was recently engulfed in crisis following the turbaning of a new Hausa traditional ruler known as "Sarkin Bwari" who is of a different lineage from the Gbagyi people that are traditionally known to have the title of "Esu of Bwari." Protests later followed the formal appointment of Awwal Musa Ijakoro, son of the Late Mohammed Musa Ijakoro as the Sarkin Bwari with the natives protesting at the office of the FCT Minister. The natives accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mohammed Bello and other officials of conniving with non-natives to deprive the natives of their right to be the paramount ruler of the town. http://saharareporters.com/2017/12/25/one-dead-many-injured-hausa-and-gbagyi-youths-clash-bwari-near-abuja.

Three people have been confirmed dead in the violence that occurred in Bwari town of Bwari Area Council, Abuja. A dusk to dawn curfew has, consequently, been imposed on the area. The violence occurred in the area on Monday morning leading to burning down of the major market in the community. PREMIUM TIMES reported the violence, which residents said was caused by the killing of a man late on Sunday. According to a resident of the area, the violence started late Sunday night after a Hausa man killed a man said to be of Gbagi ethnicity. In revenge, the Gbagis residing in the area burnt down the Bwari market on Monday, the resident said. Most of the traders in the market are believed to be Hausas. Another witness, who identified herself as Bimbo, said there has been tension between Hausas and Gbagis in the area for a while. “But the cause of this fight is because a Gbagi man was killed last night. Right now, all the Hausas in this area are running towards Kaduna area because of the fear of getting killed,” she said on Monday evening. On Monday evening, the Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, imposed a 6 p.m.to 6 a.m. curfew on Bwari township. The Minister of FCTA, Muhammad Bello, after a closed-door meeting with stakeholders in the Area Council, declared the curfew while assessing the damages caused by the crisis. Mr. Bello told journalists that three people died in the violence. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/253603-bwari-violence-three-deaths-confirmed-curfew-imposed-abuja-town.html |
