Former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso paid bail
out money to the tune of N65,000 to secure the release of 72 northerners
detained by police following the Mile 12 market crisis, during his last
visit to Lagos about two weeks ago.
On Monday, he visited the released detainees and gave
each and everyone of them a token sum of money as an empowerment to
start a new life in a ceremony attended by high ranking officers of the
Nigerian Police Force, the Hausa Traditional Rulers in Lagos, Leaders of
the Mile 12 markets and their members along with the families of the
released detainees.
He has also made arrangement for their transportation from Lagos back to their various states across the 19 northern States.
10 lives were lost, properties razed and 105 suspects arrested after an
inter-ethnic clash between Hausas and Yorubas in the Mile 12, Ketu area
of Lagos, earlier this year. The conflict reportedly started after an
Okada rider injured a woman and refused to take her to the hospital
