BREAKING NEWS-Photos: Riot in Jimeta between Keke NAPEP riders, thugs and Jimeta Marshals



A riot broke out this afternoon in Jimeta, at the premises of the Jimeta Marshals, opposite the Jimeta Main market following thugs/motor tricycle riders clash. The cause of the riot as described by the interviewed persons claim the Jimeta Marshals were extorting funds of #1000 from the tricycle  riders and market women who sell items by the roadside at random times, claiming it was for parking space yet they are never given any and demanded a halt to such activities.

The rioters started throwing stones and hurling insults at the Marshals and allegedly broke a car windshield during the act, The gate leading to the estate was shut immediately. See some photos after the cut...

The Commander of The Jimeta Marshals , Mr. Samule Ganapai said the situation was sad because the individuals took laws into their own hands. He said the the Marshals do not have jurisdiction to issue lands or parking space to anyone but to ensure free flow of traffic in the cosmopolitan.

He said the conflict arose out of ignorance of some individuals regarding certain dues being paid by the riders which the Transport Associations and Road Safety are aware of. He said the riders protested the payment saying if they were not allocated any space for parking they would cease the payment. He sited a case of lawlessness by the rioters who hurled stones even when the police came to intervene in the situation.

It took the combined efforts of the Nigerian Police, The Civil Defence and Nigerian army to calm the situation. It was also noticed that the Jimeta Marshals flag was hoisted at half mast as the crowd cheered.

Normancly has since been restored to the area ad market activities resumed

  6. "Riot" is to big a word to use in this volatile region. And fear spreads fast through the media such as this blog. In your bid to be news worthy be mindful of your pen flow. "almost a break in public order" wouldn't make ones heart skip faster than when he reads "Riot" in a boko haram region.

    3. (1) About schooling the Security outfits...don't tink i do have dat time and energy.they have their guild lines. About flowing wit the tide.(2) well in a bid to be different you may be tempted to digress. besides creating hookup tv was a trend setter over here u know. (3) lolz. If you read the blog as a friend, as a critic as a hater or a well wisher or even reference material, the most important thing is the fact that you READ the blog. so thanks for that . (4)Were you actually getting on my nerves? i never really noticed fa. if u noticed i do take time to respond to comments but mostly the once directed to me. yours caught my attention and other readers actually called to let me know so if u say you are the king, who am i to argue. You are definitely the king of Observers and who knows maybe soon to be the king of comments. The crown is yours. no arguments there.lolz.

  9. Haahaaha... Is a war going on here?
    And who's Bishop Jimmy anyways? Using the "f" word. I won't stoop low to trade words because your foul language proves you are from the gutters! Be sacred enough to take the bishop off your name!!!
    And for Hadeexablink no one is snatching no spot from you. I am here to make intellectual contributions which the blogger (Randy as I have discovered, since I didn't take the leisure of asking since I arrived the city) would appreciate. But if you want an Internet thread of war, fire another warning shot and let the war begin!!! I remain your friend until then. (looking for my book "the art of war" - am sure Jimmy can't read.. Lol.. Na joke)
