Pandemonium ensued in
Kaduna on Wednesday as six people died because of a fight over a girl.
Eyewitness accounts said
the fight started between two men on Sunday night over a woman.
A witness told Punch that a
man from a neighbouring Kwaru community came on a motorcycle to Unguwar Yero to
see his alleged concubine, who is the wife of a man in Unguwar Yero.
He said, “The woman was the
girlfriend of the Kwaru man, who used to give her money when they were dating.
But the lady in question married another person. But after their marriage, the
lady and her ex-boyfriend were still dating.
“On that Sunday evening,
the Kwaru man came as usual to look for his concubine. They met as usual, but
the husband, who was already suspecting his wife trailed her to where they were
standing. So, when he accosted them the Kwaru man stabbed his concubine’s
husband in the stomach.
“The man later died before
he could be rushed to the hospital. But what got people of the area angry was
that when Governor Nasir el-Rufai visited the place, he begged the people to be
patient, without taking any action to bring the culprit to book.
“That was why Unguwar Yero
people also started attacking people suspected to be Hausa-Muslim,” he said.
The governor was at Ungwan
Yero to broker peace.
