THE YORUBA VS HAUSA/FULANI CLASH IN OSUN STATE.
Tuesday March 7 2017 was a bloody day at Ile_ife in Osun state Nigeria. As the yorubas launched an attack on the Hausas and Fulanis. According to the reports, areas that were most volatile with the clash are the Sabo, Lagere, and Olaoluwa areas of Ile-Ife, Osun state.
In all fairness, the Hausa/Fulani community in Osun State was not responsible for yesterday’s slaughter. The reason for the clash was that Hausa/Fulani men were harassing the wives of Yoruba extraction.
They accused them, without proof, of raping and harassing wives of Yoruba men in the Sabo area of Ile-Ife. As a result of this rumor, some Yoruba men ganged up and attacked their Hausa community. The clash started on Tuesday but ended on Wednesday (if it has ended).
To the chagrin of everyone, the police did nothing to it on Tuesday.
They only went there after our Fulani brothers have been butchered in cold blood.
In the pictures available so far, some of the victims are seen burnt to ashes with a tyre still hanging on one of them in the street.
The Sabo area has been completely locked down at the moment.
Meanwhile, shops belonging to Hausa/Fulani along Lagere area have been completely destroyed along with the goods.
It's also said Security agencies comprising the Police and the Army have moved in to contain the situation.
We need peace in this country. All these has to stop!
