Several houses have been demolished after some furious youths attacked the Yoruba community in Jushi Waje, opposite the Nigeria Army Deport Barracks, Sabon Gari, Zaria, Kaduna State.
Reports gathered from multiple sources revealed that the attack had originally began on Sunday 29th of September and persisted till Tuesday, October 1st.
It was also found that trouble began when a Hausa boy allegedly entered a woman’s house in the Yoruba community and got caught.
This led to him being brutally by members of the community – an abuse that lead to his death after he was taken to Sarkin’s palace.
What They’re Saying
“The Hausa boy was caught stealing in a Yoruba woman’s house and was beaten even by same Hausa people on Sunday. He was later taken to Sarkin’s palace, the thief requested water to drink and it was one Hausa woman that gave him water.
“In the process, he gave up to the ghost, by 7pm, the Hausa youths mobilised in groups and started destroying Yoruba people’s properties.
They burnt down houses and cars. Alhamdulilah, I saw death but trust Allah they only destroyed all my glass windows, I’m out of my home now, please continue to support me and my family with prayers,” a resident affected told SaharaReporters.
