A fight broke out in the recently established Panteka market next to the Nnamdi Azikiwe bypass in Kaduna State, when an Igbo man allegedly named his dog Muhammad. According to an eyewitness, the market was shut down by the Nigerian Police who restored calm and peace after the fight erupted.
Panteka mraket is a major spare parts and scrap iron centre which houses numerous mechanic workshops in the state. An eyewitness, by name Musa Aminu reportedly said that the dilemma began when one Muhammed bought a dog and supposedly named it Ibere after an Igbo trader close to him.
Musa said:
“Since
the boy named the dog after the trader, the trader had warned him on
several occasions to rename the dog, but the owner of the dog Muhammad
refused. The Igbo trader, Ibere also bought a dog and named it Muhammad,
this is when hell was let loose.”
Subsequently, a fight erupted between Hausa and Igbo traders in the market which led to the closure of the market by the police. As at the time of this report, the police spokesperson was not available for comments at the time of filing this report as he did not pick calls put across to his phone.
