Many people were injured after hoodlums clashed at the Agege area of Lagos State.
Our correspondent gathered that some shops were destroyed during the clash that started Wednesday night and continued Thursday morning.
An eyewitness, Alli Musa, said some shops were also looted as traders and passersby ran helter-skelter when the clash began.
Musa, who sells clothing material in the area, said the hoodlums held weapons like knives and cutlasses among others.
“I didn’t see any dead body but people were injured. My co-trader is still in the hospital. She got herself injured while trying to escape. Many of us couldn’t open our shops today,” he added.
