Two person have been reportedly killed while several properties destroyed in a clash between a yet to be identified Suya Seller and one Bashiru Ahmed, the son of the Sarkin Hausawa in the Okokomaiko area of Lagos state last Friday, 14th of September 2017.
According to a statement by the Rapid Responds Squad of the Lagos State Police command, Bashiru had accused the Suya man of laughing at him and the suya seller told him he was laughing at the person who fell into the gutter. Bashiru and his gang threw the suya seller’s meat on the floor and left. Angered by Bashiru’s action, the Suya seller and some sympathizers went to complain to his father, the Sarki, Alh Adamu Ahmed Gaya, who promised to pay for the suya but the owner declined the compensation.
It was gathered that the following day, the Suya seller was shot and killed by two unknown gunmen who escaped from the scene. The matter was reported to the police who swung into action and arrested Bashiru Ahmed who is suspected to have had a hand in the murder.
In retaliation when friends of the deceased Suya seller sighted an associate of Bashiru Ahmed yesterday Sunday, 17th of September, they allegedly pursued and killed him near Alaba rago, then moved to the Palace of the Sarki and set it on fire.
