Nigeria - Pandemonium broke at Mile 12 in Lagos on Monday when some Hausa traders went on the rampage and reportedly engaged soldiers in a clash, Punch reports.

According to eyewitnesses, the confusion started at about 2pm when soldiers chased the traders out of the Ikorodu road for blocking traffic.

“Some Hausa traders started the fight in the afternoon. The soldiers sent everybody away from the road, but they refused to leave. No vehicle or bus could drive pass as the Hausa traders threatened pedestrians and commercial drivers with cutlasses," a shop owner 'Ajoke' said.

Our correspondent gathered that the rampaging traders also prevented passengers from boarding vehicles of the Bus Rapid Transit scheme.
