Mile 12 clash Update: Resident pleads adequate security to bury dead

A resident of Agiliti Street in Mile 12, near Lagos, Danjuma Jubril, on Friday pleaded with the police authorities to provide adequate security for the burial of people killed in the bloody clash in the area on Thursday.

Jubril said that the tense security in the area was not conducive for proper interment of the dead.

Reports say, Some of the corpses are inside Agiliti River

Jubril, who said he was born at Mile 12 more than 30 years ago, blamed the deadly clash on hoodlums extorting money from commercial motorcyclists and trucks carrying food items.

He advised that armed security men should be stationed permanently in the area in view of the incessant clashes.

A detachment of armed policemen, soldiers and civil defence corps had been patrolling the areas, where ethnic Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani people engaged in hand-to-hand clashes resulting to many deaths.
