No fewer than three persons have been confirmed dead after a fight broke
out between Hausa and Igbo traders at the popular Ariaria market in
Aba, Abia state this afternoon.
According one of the traders, trouble
started after an Ibo trader cautioned an Hausa trader who urinated close
to his shop.
This degenerated into an argument which turned physical. Supporters of
both traders then turned the disagreement into a free for all fight.
Three traders were reportedly stabbed to death.
The state police spokesperson, Onyeka Ezekiel, said the police brought
the situation under control.
