shut down by men of the
Nigerian Police after a fight
broke out over an Igbo trader's choice of name for his dog.
The new Panteka market along the Nnamdi Azikiwe bypass in Kaduna which
is the major spare parts centre in the state was reported to have
witnessed exchange of punches after an Igbo trader
allegedly named his dog
Muhammad.
An eyewitness, Aminu Ibrahim, who spoke to news source revealed that
trouble started when one Muhammad bought a
dog and named it Ibere after
an Igbo trader which made the Igbo trader choose Mohammed
as the name for his new dog. Aminu Ibrahim told Daily Trust: "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 all
hell was let loose." Following the christening of
the dog, Muhammed, a fight
erupted between the Igbo and
the Hausa traders in the
market which led to its closure
as security operatives tried to maintain peace and restore equity
