A resident, Jamiu Adio, said the police shot directly at the men and injured some of them. He said, “The Yoruba had to run back and that created an opportunity for the Hausa to enter into the community to wreak havoc. “The Hausa, backed by the soldiers and the police, set schools on fire and started burning vehicles in Agiliti. When they were done, they broke into Maidan community and burnt 15 houses, including a church. “They chased a carpenter, Riliwan, and after catching up with him, they cut him with machetes. They poured fuel on him and set him on fire. He was burnt to death.” Our correspondent saw the burnt corpse of the victim, covered with a cardboard paper. The only link bridge into the community was also destroyed by the rampaging Hausa. A church, PODAM, was equally torched and some of their equipment vandalised. A shop owner, Mrs. Bilikis Yusuf, said she lost two of her sewing machines and some money. “The Hausa have ruined my life. They looted my industrial machine, black machine and stole thousands of naira from my wardrobe. Where will I start from?” she asked. Another resident, Modinat Adeyemi, said she moved into the community four months ago, adding that she had lost all her property. “All I have right now is this blouse I am wearing,” she added. One of the residents, Mr. Sunday Nejo, who held his two schoolchildren with his wife beside him, said he was going to find a place for his family. While his wife wept, he said, “I have nothing again. It is only what we are wearing right now that we have. Every other thing has been burnt to ashes. We are homeless and helpless.” In a mechanic garage in the Agiliti area, one of our correspondents counted 27 burnt vehicles, while a Cherubim and Seraphim Church, which had just been completed, was equally razed. Five cars – a Nissan Pathfinder, Sienna, Honda Civic 320 Benz and Toyota Forerunner – were still smouldering when one of our correspondents visited the area. The owner of the Benz, Jimoh Jubril, said he bought it four months ago. He said, “We were inside the house where we watched everything happen. The police and the soldiers conspired and shot at our boys and that allowed the Hausa to come in. This was nothing but a compromise of our security systems. “They burnt all our five cars, one of which belonged to a man that just came to visit me. Another is for the pastor of the burnt church, while the Benz is mine. I bought it four months ago.’’ A resident, Bola Ariyo, said two schoolchildren were beheaded by the invaders. “About four people were killed on this road alone. Two of them were schoolchildren, who were just returning from school. The Hausa cut off their heads. There were also two Hausa, who were burnt to death by some Yoruba.” A resident, who claimed to know, alleged that the Hausa invaded a secondary school and allegedly killed four students. A resident said a popular Igbo trader, who sold gas in the community, was also hacked to death by the Hausa. The father of two-year-old Daniel said his son was seized after the Hausa thought he (father) was dead. “They hit my head with cutlass and I fell down. They cut me also in the hand and I pretended to be dead. They checked to see I was truly dead and when they were satisfied, they left. “They took my child and were saying, ‘let us go and kill the child too’. I have not seen my child since then,” he said. A soldier, who confirmed the account, said he saw the Hausa taking away the child and he could not tell what they did to the boy. The victim’s mother was seen by one of our correspondents weeping as people consoled. One of our correspondents observed as some soldiers wrestled with one of the Hausa suspects, who was arrested with a cutlass and a charm. A soldier said the suspect was caught red- handed while setting fire to a vehicle. He said, “He was one of the masterminds of the arson. We caught him red-handed and he dared us to come after him, saying we cannot do anything. We arrested him, but he’s been proving hard and difficult.” The suspect, along with over 70 others, was later asked to lie down in the open space as the police tried to send signal for a bus to convey all the suspects. Around 3pm, a red LAGBUS arrived at the community to convey them to the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters. As a result of the heavy fighting, hundreds of commuters between Ikorodu and Ketu resorted to trekking. Fully-loaded BRT buses, heading towards Mile 12 from Ikorodu, were forced to stop around the Majidun area for several hours while other vehicles were seen making emergency turning along the highway. Also, commercial motorcyclists of Hausa origin deserted Ketu and Mille 12 by Thursday afternoon, leaving many people to trek distances that they usually covered on bike. Bands of young men were seen wielding dangerous weapons like axes, cutlasses, clubs and even rakes between Irawo Bus- stop and Owode-elede, on the deserted expressway threatening to kill and burn down any Hausa seen in the area. When one of our correspondents visited Maidan, a small neighbourhood close to Mile 12, to assess the situation, angry youths, who also wielded dangerous weapons, threw foodstuffs like onions, tomatoes and pepper, said to belong toHausa traders on the road. At another section, people were also seen untying rams abandoned by the owners and making away with them. The Police Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmus, had yet to respond to a text message sent to her as of the time of filing this report.

Hausas-fulanis,regardless of their class, are really the ruler of this country.

Sealeddeal:
Hausas-fulanis,regardless of their class, are really the ruler of this country.

they now operate at free will because their patron is the head of state

Hmm. This is serious.

That's Nigeria for you. The government forces always backs the core-Northerners against minorities.

I don't know why Yorubas are complaining about the destructive tendencies of the Hausa-Fulani on their lands. Yorubas want 'one Nigeria' with these people despite knowing what they are capable of, so what is the problem? I really thought Yorubas would have been throwing parties any time the northerners attack them, to celebrate 'one Nigeria'.

The security in this country is just too poor plus no value for life....God save us oo

Am tried of my own people
Maybe by the time Hausa started chasing Yorubas from Yorubaland to Benin Rep then they will stop all this we are accommodating story

Godjone:

Hausafulani doing their job jejely!

Kill. Steal. Destroy. So says the Holy Book!

John 10:10.

Demons on human flesh!

they re all quiet

Hausa-fulani...


them done finish my people..

noting is left for us right now

Chai! Is this happening in the sophisticated land, l mean Hausas chasing Yorobbers with Nigeria security in their accommodative land? Hell no. This news ain't real, the source is igberetv...Lmfaoooo

This single act of Hausas makes them Hero in Nigeria ideology, Nigeria loves bloody peace, if they keep quiet and decide to live peacefully, Lagos state government would be strategizing on how to tax them heavily and Oba of Lagos would be foaming. But this strike will avoid both Oba and government harassment and everybody will be saying peace! peace!

This reminds of the viral farouk and kunle conversation. Where farouk advised kunle and yoruba to sell lands to hausa for N10,000 per plot and sell the same to Igbos at 1 million/ plot. LWKMD.
