Three people were killed while two others were injured yesterday
during a clash between Yoruba and Hausa at the White Sand area of Orile,
Lagos State.
While some residents said that the clash, which left
people scampering for safety, was between Hausa and Yoruba residents,
others said it was between operatives of the Nigeria Customs Service
(NCS) and members of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC).
One of the residents said there was a clash between Yoruba and Hausa
on Monday, which culminated in the Hausa leader inviting operatives of
the NCS yesterday, to assist them in the escalating clash.
When the Customs officials stormed the community in three trucks, in
uniform, they were confronted by members of the OPC in the community.
There was an exchange of gun fire, leading to the death of the three
people and the injuring of two persons. The three dead were members of
the community. One of the injured is an official of the NCS, while the
second is also a member of the community.https://newtelegraphonline.com/three-killed-two-injured-yoruba-hausa-clash/
