Violence has escalated in the Apo Mechanic Area of Abuja between traders and local people opposed to the #EndSARS protests.
There is fear that the crisis might assume an ethnic dimension between the Igbo traders and the locals and Hausa communities.
The renewed clashes, which began this morning, is a fallout of Monday’s mayhem in Apo where several cars were touched by hoodlums.
Many shops, houses, and cars have been razed as a result of the latest escalation of tension. Instructively, security agencies were not on ground to douse the tension.
Also, protesters have barricaded the road in Sokale Bus-stop around Dutse Alhaji, bordering the Kubwa -Zuba Expressway.
The protesters are having a faceoff with soldiers, who are shooting to scare them off.
More details later…
