An altercation between a porter said to be from Niger Republic and a pregnant Yoruba woman ignited the crisis which led to the loss of many lives and massive destruction of structures, goods and vehicles. The porter had reportedly thrown some rotten tomatoes in front of the stall of the pregnant woman, who insisted that the porter pack the rubbish and dispose of it in a waste container.
Makinde, who visited the scene of the clash twice, led governors Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State and Abubakar Bello of Niger to the Sasa community. He promised that his administration would do everything to ensure peace was restored to the area.
Some Hausa traders were said to have moved to Akinyele community where they established another market because of the destruction of Sasa Market. Interestingly, they were reportedly followed to the new place by some of their Yoruba counterparts to continue trading. “The crisis has gone and everybody has moved on. Although those who suffer losses are still trying to recover from them, the market is still thriving and you can see people coming to buy things. Goods are being brought here from the North but the volume has reduced because of some traders who relocated to Akinyele.”
Ahmed, whose apprentices and colleagues are mainly Yoruba, is from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital. He said the February violence neither affected him nor his workshop because his neighbours protected it. He said, “I don’t have much to say other than to thank the governor for fulfilling his promise to rebuild the market. The market means so much to us because our lives revolve round it. The governor came here and made promise to rebuild it. He is a man of his words. The market which is being rebuilt is even better than what was built originally. I am grateful to him. There has been no crisis since that last one and I believe there will be none again.
However, the Chairman of Akinyele Local Government Area, Mr Taoreed Adedigba, allayed the fears of former shop owners in the market.
