“Actually, there were acts of violence by hoodlums and there were casualties. The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Aliyu, had visited the scene of the incident and advised the natives to remain calm and law-abiding while the police will carry out a thorough investigation to know the root cause of the problem. The Commissioner of Police has, therefore, ordered an investigation that will leave no stone unturned in unravelling the real circumstances that led to the incident,” said Ndukwe.

The PPRO was, however, silent on the actual figure of casualties, but promised to issue an official statement on the matter later.
