Weeks after the mile 12 crisis which is believed to be a war between the Yoruba community and a group of robbers which were believed to be from the north-eastern part of the country.

Now with all accusing fingers pointing to the Hausa community in mile 12.but residents in mile 12 are still in shock over the incident which left many people wounded,properties destroyed and lost of lives.

The big question now is what does the future hold for the Hausa community in mile 12 and Lagos as a whole?

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.

According to reports,the Hausa community might have as well overstayed their welcome in mile 12 with some of the residents already agitating for the relocation of the Hausa community from mile 12.
