Na so Boko Haram tins dey start..

This is total rubbish! I'm not interested in what causes the fracas but going into people's home to attack them is unacceptable!

Yoruba's thugs will never do that and this not me being tribal. No matter the issue, if they are fighting, they know themselves. You will never see them deliberately killing innocent people.

ajebuter:
So, when will tinubu and Oba Akiolu speak and condemn this attacks ?

Or call their slave master to call his killer goons to order?

As a yoruba and Lagosian I am ashamed of what my people have become to Hausas because of atenuje political allaiance.

However I am glad my people are gradually opening their eyes and hopefully someday soon, they will act wisely and not wait for someone to tell them what to do

E tii month nkankan

Tinubu ke,that one that can even sell his mother just to get power. And as for akiolu,he is just a cry baby doing the bidding of tinubu,he will only talk if tinubu tells him to talk. And don't be surprised they are not talking so as not to make themselves target of these Fulani terrorists.

Are yoruba dullards u want to go for war u re chanting war song to d extent that d security operetives were able to stop u bt d hausas perpetrate their evil successfully what a shame.let govt rise up to dia task before dis issue gets out of hand

ZZ22:
They wont understand it when we say "lagos is no mans land" how can you tell me visitors came to your house and start killing anyone in sight hence your running from them in your own house... Lagos is still a no mans land

Guy every Yoruba land na no man's land....We Yorubas are d weakest tribe in Nigeria but we hide it by sayinh we're nice & accomodating.

Hausas are the strongest cos even Igbos fear them after wetin dr eyes see for their hand.

I remember the days of OPC daring to unleash mayhem on hausas if they try such but today Tinubu has created factions there to destabilize them that the protection of Yoruba was now left to agbero garage touts who do more yelling and shouting than fighting

Tinubu has suddenly lost his voice, he doesn't want to offend his slave masters....


Where is that hopeless liar called Lie Mohammed?

Since the lagoon was opened for the igbos, I think the Oba should invorked fire nd brime stones on the Hausas.

Where is Oba of Yoruba land?is time 4 u to push northerners to Lagoon.Noise makers

I have been saying this for so long . Whenever the government tries to gentrify the land , the so called Yoruba activist move out enmass .
Okada, street trading ,slums, buildings without approval or planning are so of the stuffs that can be used to deter those who frankly have no business living amongst decent people.
Apart from minorities from the south and middle belt(th who plug in perfectly into our ways ,It is impossible to integrate folks now. The stupidittty of too much liberalism.
A lot of these folks were born destitute .they lack Any concept of modernity and city living .
While the leadership navigate the treacherous waters of Nigerian politics , they should not lose sight of the main cause .
That is getting the yoruba nation out of the country .
And to those canvassing for one useless paper from Jonathan's conference, that paper is dead on arrival.
I cannot believe that while others are conspiring, SW leaders are not taking the Bulls by the horn .
There is no doubt in my mind that the leadership need to activate a fallback position.
That position must start by activating a purposeful move towards independence .

We are talking about killings you are busy speaking big big Grammar here. Hausa don't speak pidgin talk more of grammar

The hausas can kill as they want, nobody in Yoruba land can cough, Buhari is their messiah, while Fayose and FFk are their prodigal children.They security agencies is controlled by them.who occupies all the sensitive agencies, them, who gives orders, them, who carries it out, them.Can you try this in the north? the soldiers will lead them themselves. But this bulshit can not happen in Igbo land.

gimakon:
You cannot have hausa and expect peace. That's why Angolan president drove the entire hausa people out of Angola, them and thier islam, he drove them all out! Destroyed thier mosque and everything.

Angola sees nigeria as an hausa / islamic nation. This is why going to Angola now as a Nigerian is one of the most difficult things you can ever imagine.

Certainly u r Igbo or IPOB, well ur hate on Hausa/Islam is nothing but a ladder to the peak. Nonetheless, we Hausa/Muslim we neva hate u n neva to, we jst always ignore u ppl and move on. Peace out

ayoolanr:
Igbo people are so happy about this incident LOL....it's allowed....when Yorubas retaliate, it will be a total cleansing....both ibos and hausas will drown in the lagoon! Even FG soldiers will flee when their weapons have no effect.....have you heard of JUJU? It's an Oduduwa thing....call it black magic, i call it black science of the spirit realm!

mtchwww... Talk is cheap .. Your leaders are Esau's, who could sell their right for a plate of Aisha Rice. ThankGod for Fayose,FFK and the fews. Firefire you see what APC ineffectual leadership is causing all over the country?

This is pathetic

What has politics got to do with this??

Firefire:
Atubotan Awon ole ati ojelu bi Tinubu o ni da.

Lagos: Killings continue in Mile 12 ethnic clash

ON MARCH 5, 20164:57 AMIN NEWSCOMMENTS
By  Evelyn Usman, Bose Adelaja and Monsuru Olowoopejo

Some parts of the   Mile 12 market and environs in Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos, yesterday, were tension-soaked  following fresh killings by armed hoodlums suspected to be from the Northern part of the country. Four persons were reported killed in the renewed midnight ethnic clash which started on Wednesday night. Saturday Vanguard gathered that in spite of the curfew imposed in the area, some armed men arrived at  the early hours of yesterday through the canal and destroyed some shops in the market. Some homeless persons sleeping in the market and adjourning streets were suspected to have been killed.


Ketu-traders
A resident, who simply gave his name as Oluwatimileyin, said: “ The Hausa men  crossed the Agilinti river with canoe and attacked residents of an estate at Isheri North, last night. They even burnt some buildings”.

Irked by the invasion, some armed  Yoruba  youths  converged close to the market in readiness for another clash at about 1pm.  The irate youths, who chanted war songs attempted to invade the market and destroy  shops belonging to  Hausa traders.  But they were dispersed by security operatives with tear gas cannisters.

Consequently, residents in the affected streets have been fleeing their abodes, following alleged threats by some Hausa youths to set their houses on fire at midnight.  Also, Hausa residents in the area have abandoned their homes for fear of being caught in the ethnic war. The popular Mile 12 market  was Thursday, turned into a theatre of war, during which no fewer than 12 persons were killed and several others injured. What started like a storm in a tea cup on Tuesday, snowballed into a big fracas two days later.

The  ongoing crisis which began with a verbal confrontation  took a violent twist  after a commercial motorcyclist  popularly called okada hit a female trader. Consequently,  the popular Mile 12 market was  shut by the state government, with curfew imposed on four neighbouring streets:  Maidan, Agilinti 1, Agilinti 2 and Oniyanrin, close to the market.

How it happened

According to eye witnesses’ account, a commercial motorcyclist from the northern part of the country who was riding against traffic  hit one of the residents, a Yoruba woman who sustained severe injuries. This attracted sympathy from co-residents, who argued that she should be taken to a nearby hospital at the expense of the rider.

The Okada rider bluntly refused the idea and called his colleagues from the same ethnic group, during which a fight ensued.  This matter was amicably settled by some community leaders. Unfortunately, the victim passed on the following day, a development that drew the anger of the woman’s friends and subsequently led to fresh crisis on Thursday.

On that Thursday most of those who became victims of the clash were commuters either going or returning from work. Sensing danger, the Okada rider’s friends and other co-okada riders from the Northern extraction re-mobilised and positioned themselves in various places wielding dangerous weapons to attack the Yoruba. The news spread such that some hoodlums took advantage of the situation by proceeding to Mile 12 market to vandalise and loot the traders’ shops.

On noticing the development, the Hausa also strategised to torch and vandalise vehicles and buildings and by the time the dust settled, no fewer than 12 lives were lost while 12 buildings, 10 vehicles and other valuable items were destroyed.

Victims’ accounts

Some of the victims, who spoke to Saturday Vanguard, condemned the belated response of the Police at Mile 12 Division. “The  Police at Mile 12 did not respond on time and when they eventually arrived the scene, they could not stop the raging war,’’ Mr Igba Andrew, one of the victims, who was badly injured  and who also had his two-year-old son  kidnapped during the incident said: “I was at home when some Hausas came with guns, broken bottles and matchetes and forcefully took my son away and up till now, his whereabouts remain unknown,”

A clergy, Pastor Adekunle Tanimowo, had his only building, church and car razed. ‘’I am left with nothing and only God can restore me. I was in the church preparing for the day’s event when my wife screamed in the house and I rushed to attend to her but to our surprise, some men were seen afar off conversing in Hausa language and we sensed danger. Without wasting time, we fled the scene with our children and while hiding somewhere, I got a call from somebody who alerted me that all our properties have been torched by the attackers.”

They left me when I spoke Hausa – Survivor

Another victim, Mr Kunle Afariogun, who escaped death by the whiskers said he ran into the hoodlums on his way back from work. ‘’Thank God I understand Hausa language, if not, only God knows what would have happened to me. I was on my way home when I ran into them and they asked me if I were an Hausa man and I answered in the affirmative. But they were not convinced and asked me to start speaking in Hausa Language which I did and they responded in Hausa Language ‘he is one of us, don’t kill him.’’’

A resident of Agilinti, Mrs Oluwakemi Ologbon, who is presently seeking refuge in Ikorodu, said she was scared to return to the area. ‘’My husband is taking refuge with his friend while I am taking refuge with my elder sister. Yesterday’s experience was a signal that Boko Haram has infiltrated Lagos and the government must act fast. Thank God I escaped with all my children but what about so many people who have lost their means of livelihood? Six buildings to my house were razed when I fled with my family but my husband decided to stay elsewhere while we all came to Ikorodu,” she said.

Residents flee homes over possible reprisal attacks

When Saturday Vanguard visited the community, it was gathered that many residents had left their homes in order to avoid been lynched by the hoodlums. A resident, Motunrayo, who spoke to Saturday Vanguard on phone said: “I have left for Mowe. And I am not the only one who has left the community. Some members of the community had gone as far as Ibadan. I don’t want to die. I believe that going to Mowe will help me evade any attack.”

On how she escaped, she said: “We moved through the bush path. And on getting to Isheri-Osun axis, we boarded vehicles to our respective locations.” Motunrayo noted that they would not return until there was strong assurance from the government and the traditional rulers of both communities that normalcy has returned.

Ambode meets traditional rulers in crisis location

Meanwhile, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, yesterday, met with traditional leaders of Mile 12 and environs, to find ways of resolving the ongoing fracas, 24 hours after declaring curfew in the area. At the meeting held behind closed doors in Alausa Secretariat, Ikeja, sources said that Ambode who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Mr. Tunji Bello, asked the traditional rulers to instruct their people to sheathe their swords in order for peace to return to the community.

Saturday Vanguard gathered that the Governor assured the traditional rulers that the government was working with the security operatives to end the frequent face-off between the Hausa and Yoruba communities in the axis. In an interview with Saturday Vanguard, Baale of Maidan-Mile 12, Babatunde Ogunjobi, said that the crux of our meeting was on the ongoing crisis in Mile 12, saying “we used the opportunity to express our displeasure over the crisis rocking our community.’’

However, armed security men have been strategically positioned to ward off any reprisal attack. Saturday Vanguard gathered over 50 persons were arrested yesterday in connection with the crisis and were currently being detained at the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department,SCIID. Spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command , Dolapo Badmus, said there was no fresh killing yesterday.

She said “the police have dominated the place since Thursday. We are also assisted by the Nigerian Army. We have almost 141 people arrested in connection with the case and we will charge them to court. The suspects were arrested since yesterday (Thursday ) up to the early hours of this morning (yesterday) . Investigation is still ongoing” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/03/lagos-killings-continue-in-mile-12-ethnic-clash/

Mr Ambode, CP of NPF Lagos state, Mile 12 LGA Chairman and the councillors, the minnion kings and baales... are useless and totally incapable.

One good question, can any non- northerner, residing in any of the northern states practise or openly engage northerners in their owm domain as they are currently doing? From South East to South South to South West, for fvck sake how many are they?.

Its infuriating how Hausa/Fulani illitrates (almajiris) would turn around and slaughter their host communities like their lives matters not.

Where are the so called OPC and Afeniferes? over 48 hours a section of a LG could not successfully be contained Shame on these sets of Yorubas...walai.

ur likely yoruba, I am igbo, yet I agree with Wat you said. Even in war there should be decorum. The hausas lack that. To enter a person's home for murder and destruction is taboo. Guess you all see why the Igbos hold the hausa to grievance. They a barbaric. The earlier the south rise in unison, the better for us. We might one day fight another but such a fight will be honourable, like you pointed out. Are u single ma'am?
