Abuja market shut indefinitely over motorbike accident, riot
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mohammad Bello, has ordered the indefinite closure of Dei-Dei Market in Abuja, following a riot.
He gave the order after inspecting the scene of the Wednesday incident with FCT Commissioner of Police, Sunday Babaji, and other senior security officers.
Some residents had said there was an accident involving a motorcycle around the market in the area that resulted in the chaos.
During the riot, some persons were seen with machetes. There were unconfirmed reports of some deaths while shops were razed; vehicles and motorcycles destroyed.
The minister directed the community and the market leaders to fish out the hoodlums responsible for the crisis.
“The community and market leaders must fish out hoodlums and bad eggs among them, unfortunately this time around hoodlums carry arms and they shot innocent people,” NAN quoted him as saying.
He also said, “As a matter of fact, I saw four corpses this is very sad and totally unequivocally unacceptable in Abuja.
“We have agreed with security agencies that full scale investigations will be done, and the communities have to be part and parcel of the solution or else there will be no peace.
“In the interim the timber market and the surrounding markets, including all the activities on road that have clustered the road and made it impassable will all stop until the technical team reviews everything, and then we will take the next decision.”
Bello said there was no tribal or religious misunderstanding because all the leadership of various communities have lived in peace for many years.
“This is simply the matter of criminals and hoodlums taking the laws into their hands,” he said.
The FCT police in a statement said it had restored normalcy in Dei-dei town.

Bandit leader who forced community to give him chieftaincy title, 2 other kingpins killed in Zamfara
Bandit leader who forced community to give him chieftaincy title, 2 other kingpins killed in Zamfara
Three bandit kingpins terrorizing Zamfara State, along with some of their fighters, have been killed by a joint security taskforce operating in the state.
According to security expert and counter insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, the bandit kingpins included Kachalla Mati, Jammo Baki, and a former police officer, Kachalla Yada.
In a post on X handle Saturday morning, Zagazola Makama said: “Update: Security Intelligence, in joint efforts with the Militia Joint Task Force, have neutralized 3 bandit kingpins in the North West on April 26, 2024.
The kingpins included Kachillaha Mati, Jammo Baki, and one other ex-police personnel, Kachallah Yada, as well as several other fighters in Tidibale in Gangara villages of ISA and Sabon Birnin LG Zamfara State.
Jammo was very dangerous and ruthless, to the extent that he forced the community to give him a chieftaincy title.
On the other hand, Kachallah Yadda, who was an ex-police officer, is in charge of training the bandit on weapons handling as well as illicit arms trafficking.
The ‘suyanization” of the three terrorists was a huge blow to the bandits in Zamfara State and a relief to the people of the North West.

This also got to show that the initiative of the Zamfara state government in collaboration with the security forces since it vowed to never negotiate with bandits but to crush them by any means is yielding positive results.
The recruitment of the Civilian Joint Task Force, popularly known as Askarawa, to go after the bandits in their enclaves and their hideouts was a major game changer.
Just like in the case of the North East, the worst nightmare of the bandits are the “Askarawa,” or Yansakai, as they are popularly called. This was because they have knowledge of the terrain and know the bandits who have in the past operated openly with impunity.
Within the past few months, the Askarawas have captured and killed hundreds of bandits, their informants, and collaborators. They have also recovered thousands of livestock rustled by the bandits, as well as rescued dozens of abducted victims.
This was why the pressure mounted on the bandits in both military, air, and ground offensives is forcing them to beg for “negotiations” through several videos on social media.”
Attempts by PlatinumPost reporters to confirm the killings of the terrorists by relevant security bodies have not yielded the desired results as of the time of filing this report.
