Lagos State Police Command has vowed to get to the root cause of the clash that erupted between Yoruba and Hausas at Fagba which claimed over ten lives.
Fracas erupted Wednesday and Thursday last week between Hausas and Yoruba youths over yet to be ascertained issues.
During the crisis, many persons were said to have lost their lives and properties destroyed.
Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu while addressing community and religious leaders in the area said he has detailed the Area Commander to carry out discreet Investigation into the cause of the fracas.
Odumosu said though the clash has been settled amicably, there was the need to find a lasting solution.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has appealed to residents to support the ongoing effort of the government to put life back into the state.
Obasa said this when he led other members of the House on a visit to some of the areas destroyed or burnt down by those who took advantage of the protest against the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
The lawmakers visited the ravaged palace of the Oba of Lagos, HRM, Rilwan Akiolu, and the Isokoko Police Station, the Fagba Police Unit among others.
He pleaded with residents to abstain from further destruction of properties and the heritage that binds the people together.
He stressed that unity and love should become the new focus as this would encourage, empower and inspire the government’s direction at this critical time.
