At least 11 people were buried on Sunday in the aftermath of Friday's altercation between Hausa traders and Yoruba at Shasa Market in Akinyele Local Government Area, Oyo State.
Also, up to 5,000 Hausa traders, women and children displaced by the violence were still taking refuge at the residence of the Sarkin Shasa, Alhaji Haruna Maiyasin, and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture , in Ibadan. The Sarkin Sasa, who spoke with Daily Trust, said 11 victims were prepared for burial in his compound. A source in the Hausa community said 20 killed persons were buried at the Akinyele Graveyard in the state capital.
The charred remains of 8 other people killed during the crisis were still at the police station in the Shasha area, as of yesterday evening."You can hear the noise, they are still here," Alhaji Maiyasin told Daily Trust by telephone. He said the refugees in his residence were up to 3,000.
Sad. How do we manage our diversity? Ethno-religious conflict is a lose lose situation.
Ha! My people in Mokola. Government should do something to this unnecessarily violent. Politicians are behind all these.

During my Service year in Ibadan in 2017, I served at St Gabriel Secondary school,.. I always walk with fear around that Sabo Market in Mokola. The Hausa community there is very massive. Damn. I always knew a day like this would come.
