UPDATED: One killed, three others feared dead in AirForce, traders clash


Sporadic gunshots rented Ladipo International market, in Mushin area of Lagos, yesterday, during a violent clash between a team of Air Force personnel attached to one of the Military operations known as OP MESSA at traders.

One person was killed by a bullet while doctors at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH were still battling to save the life of three others, at 5 pm.

Scores of traders sustained varying degrees of injuries while their vehicles were riddled with bullets.

There were different accounts as to how the trouble started. A version of the account said a man who was clad in a white shirt on a tracksuit went to the Aguiyi Ironsi International Market Traders Association Task Force Wing, at about 11 am, demanding to see the Chairman.

The visitor who was said to have refused to state the reason for his visit was taken to the Public Complaint Committee head, who thereafter, took him to the association’s chairman, Mr Emmanuel Mbamara, who at that time was with some persons.

Eyewitnesses said Mbamara gave the visitor audience but interrupted him halfway, explaining that his case needed proper attention. He was said to have told the visitor to sit down, while he concluded with others who were in his office earlier.

But the visitor reportedly picked offense, insisting that he should be attended to. This led to verbal confrontation as the visitor was alleged to have used unprintable words on Mbamara.

Some traders suspected to be members of the task force were said to have pushed the visitor out of the office, in the process of which a fight broke out and he (visitor) was overpowered.

The visitor reportedly left, disclosing that he was a soldier. He later returned with an armed team of Military personnel in an OP MESSA Hilux Van.

Another version of the account had it that a soldier with the Nigerian Army accompanied his civilian friend who had a problem with the engine he earlier bought from one of the traders to the market. An altercation over the trader’s refusal to change the engine began.

It degenerated into a fight, during which the Military man said to be in mufti and his civilian friend were overpowered. The civilian friend was said to have managed to wriggle himself from the traders’ grip and went out to alert the Air Force personnel on patrol of an attack on a soldier.

A third version of the account said trouble started following an argument between a trader and a customer who went to buy a car engine ensued, over the trader’s refusal to give the customer another key starter in replacement of a faulty one he earlier bought.

However, a fourth report said the customer brought an engine he earlier bought from a trader at the market because it was faulty. The trader was said to have argued that the guaranteed date on the receipt of purchase had expired, thereby refusing to change it as requested by the traders.

Gunshots
Vanguard gathered that immediately the Hilux Van arrived at the section of the market, the Military personnel jumped out of the van and made straight for the Task Force stand to effect the arrest of a man whom the aggrieved trader pointed as one of those that attacked him.

However, the attempt was resisted by traders, who struggled the man out of the AirForce personnel’s grip.

The entire market was thrown into disarray as the traders allegedly engaged the Air Force personnel in fisticuffs. In the process, the AirForce personnel were said to have opened fire.

One of the traders who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said, “None of them (Air Force personnel) wore name tags. They fired directly at traders. One of the traders was shot in the stomach. Several persons sustained varying degrees of injuries in their bid to avoid being hit by bullets.

“When we realised that one of the traders was killed by bullets from the OP MESSA men, we blocked the way, preventing them from leaving because we were not sure if they were there legally or not and also if they were genuine Military personnel.

“As that was on, two other Hilux vans drove in and continued another round of shooting. Many traders were shot. The shooting spree lasted close to one hour. While that was on, the Chairman and other leaders of the market contacted the Army and Commissioner of Police.”

Identities of dead, injured
One of the traders whose life was snuffed out by bullets was identified simply as Scatter. His corpse was deposited at the Isolo General Hospital mortuary.

Doctors at LUTH were still battling to save the life of three other traders whose identities were given as Ifeanyi Eyin, Makwo Epuna and Chidinmma Okechukwu.

Eyin was said to be escaping from the scene when a bullet hit him in the back. Epuna was shot in the buttocks while Okechukwu who was on Oxygen at the hospital was about to be rolled into the theatre for surgery at 4 pm.

Military react
Vanguard first contacted the Nigerian Army, as the personnel were said to be soldiers attached to the Nigerian Army. But the Nigerian Army clarified that its personnel were not involved in the shooting spree, referring Vanguard to the Air Force.

When the Director, Public Relations, Nigerian AirForce, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, was contacted, he disclosed that the team that went to the market had been taken to the Logistics Command of the Nigerian Air Force for interrogation.

He explained that “We were told that an Army personnel and a civilian friend of his went to Ladipo market to confront someone that was alleged to be owing to the Army personnel. While at the market, an argument started and they started exchanging blows.

The Army personnel were subdued, the civilians ran out to look for assistance. He saw some Air Force personnel on patrol. He beckoned on them that a soldier was under attack

“When they got to the scene to contain the fight, the traders started hauling stones at them. Along the line, one of the traders attempted to snatch a rifle from one of the Air Force personnel. He succeeded, snatched the rifle, and attempted to shoot our personnel. The Army soldier was able to collect the rifle and opened fire on the traders.

“The Nigerian Air Force personnel that were in that market did not really kill anybody. The Army soldier who collected the rifle that was snatched from OP MESSA, opened fire in self-defense.

“Our Base Commander was able to calm the situation. He visited the scene. Those involved have been arrested and are under investigation. We heard only one person was shot. An investigation is however ongoing.”

Hoodlums hijack situation
Meanwhile, hoodlums hijacked the situation to attack motorists on both sides of the ever-busy Oshodi/ Apapa Expressway, at the Toyota bus stop. The attack was said to be a protest of the death of traders by the Military.

They shattered defenseless motorists’ windscreens, dispossessing them of phones, cash, and other valuables. Some of those attacked were traders and workers who were returning from their respective business places.

At press time, leaders at the market and senior Air Force personnel were at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters, Ikeja.

BMC don't operate market but office.

Stop confusing yourself

Btw, always ahead of the game.. I also fumed at her nominations..

Another record added to the bag

Mr Dino the comedien lawmaker you're also useless as madam Lauretta �

See Kettle calling pot black

This is purely politics, nothing to do with character

blinking001:
Wonders shall never end indeed. Even Dino Maleye wants to have a say too. Even a chronic thief in person of Dino maleye thinks he has a say too. He together with his goons in the PDP stole our nations wealth and rendered most of our youths jobless, he stole away the future of our unborn children. People like him are suppose to be locked away for good.

he stole away what?

with due respect sir do u have carata?? with due respect sir, all nigerian polithiefcians have no carata atall...
with due respect they sold there carata when swearing or taking oath of office.....








I meeeuuuvvvveee

Monogamy:
Kettle....

Pot

This is the beginning of her downfall.

After the denial of being APC member and now the rejection.....

My submission is that perhaps Mrs Onochie was not rejected based on the membership of APC or not. She has stepped on so many toes with her constant abuse of anybody that dares to criticize the Buhari's government. Government is not you papa business, na sense de de use run government matter. Now see where it has landed her. What a way to disgrace her, she will probably go underground just like Oshiobaba. Lessons abound to be learnt from her predicament and that of others that has fallen out of favour in this administration.

Ohaneze team of failed politicians led by Senator Iberibe was in the Senate ensuring that their own daughter Lauretta Onochie was refused confirmation as INEC commissioner.
Ohaneze politicians & citizens are spoiling for war over Igbo presidency come 2023 while at the same time openly or secretly supporting secession.
Their misguided youths are busy claiming victimhood & insulting, abusing & threatening everyone that as much as open his or her mouth against their delusional fight for freedom from the mental slavery they wilfully locked themselves into.
How shamfully tragic that a people so enterprising, resourceful, intelligent & the biggest beneficiaries of one Nigeria are wilfully setting themselves up for utter self destruction just because their umbrella party that for 16 years nearly stole Nigeria out of the world map lost power in 2015!
Odiegwu indeed!!

This kind of treatment awaits all those garrulous, unscrupulous media members working with him after his tenure is over

NwaAmaikpe:





Character is not everything.
Capacity is everything.

My mechanic is a chronic womanizer who lies, but he does the job.
In this case, I don't care about his character, my only concern is his capacity to get the job done.

womanising has no direct relationship with the work he is doing, it his personal life. Let assumed he insults and abused his clients including you, will you continue to patronised him irrespective of how good he is?

GreatrAnalyst:

The pattern is support a government , get juicy appointments , get your hand in the cookie jar , defend that hand from anything that will it,chop cookies till you bellefu . after tenure , be digesting the cookies until another opportunity presents itself . Garba Shehu , onochie, lai mohammed , Festus Keyamo, Femi Adesina etc are on this table .
Like a friend would say, everyone is in opposition and know the way to fix Nigeria until power is in their hands .

Monogamy:


Aboniki or panadol extra, which one should I gift you?

for the pains right ❔�

There's a quiet unspoken rule in Northern nigerian politics. We may be opposition but we have common interests and should never fight ourselves beyond repair.

Their spokespersons like Onochie, FFK and Dawisu broke those rules. But Onochie took it too far and they usually won't forgive her. Atiku has boys, even in APC.

Dino talking as though he has the character.

Dino is now reacting to everything like Shehu Sani and other Nigerian politiclowns out there.

He's damn right. The woman Is unquestionably a black sheep in her family and community. She is that kind of person that thrives in humiliating and making life hellish for anyone that comes in contact with, except those that behaves like her, such as ned nwako and other notorious villains
in communities.

In essence, she is just like any other Nigerian frontline politician- a rogue.

Monogamy:
Kettle....

Your useless corrupt mannequin in Aso Rock made people like Dino Melaye get mouth when he should be sitting in jail.

Are the current APC Criminals, including your presidio any different??!!

BE objective please.

Ant wait for 2023 to do my bit in every little way I can (and be sure I'd take my pound of flesh off aladem bastardts!!!)

Fiscus105:
In Buhari cabal is just embarrassing this woman, but she thinks she is enjoying corridor of power, those who don't work half of what she does are enjoying goodie of offices while cabal are just making him tool to fight her own people and her own religion.

I bilv by sending her name to Senate it was delibrate ploy to dangling juice before her and refuses to let taste the goodie

She is just a tool of ridicules and nothing more.

Perfect analysis!

She's a blind fool!

As an igbo man I'd rather never attempt to show any form of love or support for Buhari but rather hold my dignity and pride against him.

It's better to die in dignity of a noble cause than support such foolish and wicked force and be ridiculed at the end!!
Character and dignity has great advantages!
