2 killed as Igbos, Fulanis clash in Enugu

Two  people were killed yesterday during a fight between Fulani herdsmen and  some Igbo traders at Gariki market in Enugu state. According to  reports, the fight started after a herdsman identified as Ali came to an  abattoir at the Market to slaughter a cow. He was charged N500 but paid  N400 after he finished slaughtering his cow. The abattoir attendant  identified as Ifeanyi Ifeacho asked for the N100 balance but Ali  allegedly refused to pay. 

An  argument ensued between them which later degenerated into a fight. Ali  allegedly removed his knife and stabbed Ifeanyi in the stomach. He died  on the spot. Ali made an attempt to run from the market but was  apprehended by other traders and then beaten to death. Some angry Ibo  traders attacked some other Fulani traders and also razed the Mosque in  the market. 

Security agents have been drafted to the area to restore law and order.
