Civil unrest in Abuja’s DeiDei market as shops owners clash with bike riders (Video)

There is civil unrest at the DeiDei building material market along Kubwa-Zuba Express in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

An eyewitness that spoke to Neptune Prime over the phone, said a truck crushed a woman to death following the reckless driving of a motorbike, popularly called ‘okada’.

Watch video of the unrest below:

According to Sahara Reporters, the deceased Igbo woman was said to be on a bike when the accident occurred. “She died while being rushed to the hospital”.

The tragedy compelled some traders in the area to run after the motorbike and set it ablaze, this triggered a reprisal from commercial motorcyclists in the area.

The rampaging commercial motorcyclists allegedly blocked the expressway and attacked motorists in the process.

Many vehicles and shops, particularly the ones selling building materials, were said to be burnt and destroyed.

A source also said some churches were also attacked, leaving many people injured. Motorists were forced to take alternative routes to avoid being caught up in the violence.

As of the time of filing this story, security operatives had been deployed to the area to restore law and order
