Abuja Uprising: Many Feared Dead, Shops Burnt As Traders, Commercial Motorcyclists clash 

The fight reportedly started following an accident that led to the death of an Igbo woman.

According to reports, the woman was a passenger on a commercial motorcycle when she was crushed by a truck, allegedly due to the recklessness of the motorcyclist carrying her.

The woman died while being rushed to the hospital and this caused traders in the area to go after the motorcyclist carrying her when the accident occured.

The man’s motorcycle was set ablaze when they caught him.

This led to a reprisal attack from motorcyclists in the area.

They blocked the expressway, attacked motorists, and burnt the shops and cars of the traders who sell building materials at the Dei Dei International Timber Market.

Goods worth billions were reportedly destroyed in the fire.
