Ibadan: Police Arrest Nine In Shasha Violent Attack

Commercial activities at the Shasha market in Akinyele Local Government area of Ibadan, one of the largest vegetable markets in Oyo state were halted on Friday as a result of a violent disruption.

According to an eyewitness account, a disgruntled scrap dealer who was prevented from defecating on a particular spot near the market started the trouble.

It is said that the scarp dealer went away only to return with his friends to attack those who drove him off.

Meanwhile, the Oyo state police command has confirmed that  it has arrested no fewer than nine people in connection with the violent attack on traders and residents of shasha market.

The  state police commissioner, Mr Shina Olukolu, who made this known to journalists  late on Friday, also warned mischievous persons to desist from peddling falsehood regarding the issue, especially on social media where it had been reported that a tribal clash had ensued within the community.

The police boss stressed  that the crisis was quelled with the joint efforts of both the Yoruba and Hausa community in and around the market, assuring  that nothing would be allowed to truncate the peaceful co-existence that has existed in the community for decades.
