Violence erupted in the seedy Olomore market, Abeokuta on Thursday morning as dozens of Hausa traders protested the alleged death of one of them when Operatives of the Special Anti – Robbery Squad stormed the market in pursuit of suspected criminals.The angry Hausa traders who sell onions, pepper, tomatoes, yam and fruits, allegedly went violent, smashing items, including the operational vehicle of the Ogun State – owned Television station and many other property in sight.
They blocked the expressway with bonfires mounted in various locations on the ever- busy road, creating a huge traffic bedlam for the greater part of Thursday.Business activities came to an abrupt even as a detachment of Policemen and Operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps laboured to check the violent protest from escalating.
Abimbola, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, added the Police officers implicated in the shooting were operatives of the Anti-Cultism unit of the Ogun Police Command and not SARS. “We are yet to ascertain what actually caused the initial fracas, but investigation is going to reveal that.
