This was revealed
by eye witnesses who told our reporter in Kano, that the violence erupted as a
result of a communication breakdown between a non-Muslim tailor and a Muslim
man over an inscription on a dress designed by the tailor.
According to some
of the residents, the tailor had allegedly omitted two letters in the
inscription, which signalled a change in the meaning of the inscription, and
considered to be insulting to Muslims.
However,
confirming the incident during a press briefing in Kano, the state capital, the
State’s Police Commissioner, Ibrahim Idris maintained that there were no
casualties in the violence and that the situation has been brought under
control.
About seven
persons were, yesterday, reportedly killed and 14 houses burnt in the Obi Local
Government Area of Nasarawa State in renewed clashes between Koro and Eggon
tribesmen.
