A group of Muslim worshippers and hoodlums have reportedly clashed in the Marina area of Lagos, leaving many injured in the early hours of Sunday.
The reason for the fracas, which lasted from 3am – 4am on Sunday, according to sources remains unknown.
According to The Nation, dangerous weapons such as cutlasses, knives and others were used during the clash which saw several properties vandalised in the Marina area.
An eyewitness said: “I think the area boys tried to rob the Muslims during their early morning prayers and the Muslim folks resisted them which caused the fight.”
It was gathered that some men from the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corps(LNSC) later showed up and chased the hoodlums away.
