Kasuwa Magani Violence: Number Of Dead People Reaches 35

The tolls of people who have been killed in a clash between Hausa and Adara youths at Kasuwan Magani, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State has reached 35.

Those injured were taken to different hospitals located in the heart of Kaduna for treatment.

The community has been under different clashes for some time now, and this most recent happening as earlier reported by Naija News, has forced the Kaduna state government to declare a 24-hours curfew in the community.

Kasuwa Magani is situated in the Southern part of the state, dominated by the native of Adara.

The incident reportedly resulted from a disagreement over where traders were to be off-loading their wares for sales during the Thursday market day.

However another source explained that trouble started when a particular man pretending to be pushing a wheelbarrow stole some goods and was apprehended by some youths.

As people took to their heels, some of the youths stormed some of the shops which led to commotion in the area.

Naija News learnt that the security operatives were mobilized to Kasuwan Magani on time to avert further breakdown of law and order.

“They were shooting into the air and this helped to disperse the youths, otherwise it would have been worse,” said one of the traders named Danladi.

The witness said two people died in the latest attack, while many others were wounded.
