One feared dead in Lagos Ketu market clash
A man has been reportedly killed and many others injured in the Ketu Market clash between rival gangs of miscreants at the Market in Lagos on Monday.
A witness, simply identified as Musiliu, said that the clash followed a disagreement between two groups of hemp smoking miscreants over the death of a member after heavy doses of marijuana, NAN reports.
”What happened was some guys smoking Indian hemp in the market were fighting among themselves over the death of someone whom they gave an overdose of the hemp.
”Afterwards, the miscreants were seen carrying the corpse about in the market chanting war songs and destroying anything on sight. I think that was when the policemen were called to intervene.
”The police detachment from Ketu Police Station came and started shooting sporadically in the market while the miscreants were also seen facing them in spite of the shooting.
”The police latter went back to reinforce and that caused a lot of trouble as the market people started running helter skelter in order not to be caught up in the crisis,” the witness said.
