(http://edge.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Policemen-at-Mile-12-360x270.jpg)An intra-ethnic clash between Hausa youths broke out in Mile 12 area of Lagos on Friday.
Witnesses said Friday's clash was caused by a struggle for the leadership (Serkin Hausawa) of the Hausa community in the area. Combatants on different sides of the divide reportedly engaged in a violent clash with various weapons.
The situation has been brought under control, with the deployment of armed policemen and Armoured Personnel Carriers in the area.
The area was the scene of a violent clash a month ago between Hausa and Yoruba youths after some Hausa allegedly attempted to dump the corpse of a man they had reportedly slaughtered in the nearby Majidun River.
More details later.
