There is an ongoing fight between the Hausas and Yorubas at Sabo market of Ile-Ife, Osun state.
At least seven people have been reportedly killed.
The clash reportedly started when a bus used his side mirror to hit a Hausa woman at sabo last night.
The Hausa men at Sabo market got angry and injured the driver with cutlass. By this morning, the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) boys retaliated and right now about five people are said to have been killed and others injured in the ongoing fight.
Gunshots are being heard while some shops have been set ablaze and
residents have deserted both Sabo and Lagere, Ile-Ife, in bid to escape
the clash.
Police and army personnel have been discharged to the area.
