Saturday, May 18, 2024 - There was commotion on Saturday at the popular Banex Plaza phone market, located in the Wuse 2 area of Abuja, as soldiers and some traders clashed over the sale of a defective phone.
A
trader reported that the soldiers were attacked after a disagreement with some
persons in the market.
“I am not currently in the market but I
called my boys at the shop and they told me there was a disagreement between
some boy and soldiers,” the trader said.
The newspaper said it sighted a video of
the incident where a group of young men were seen arguing with two soldiers.
The young men later broke into groups of
three, attacking their targets fiercely.
A man seen in mufti was also attacked by the
mob, but it is unclear if he is also a soldier.

In another video, traders were seen locking
up their shops over fears of a reprisal attack by soldiers.
The military authorities have not commented
on the incident at the time of filing this report.
However, another medium, PararallelFact
reported that the spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh,
said the Commissioner of Police, Benett Igweh has deployed officers of the FCT
Intelligence Response Team to the scene of the incident.
“The CP has deployed the Intelligence
Response Team to the scene,” Adeh confirmed.
