AFTERMATH OF THE CRISIS IN BWARI, ABUJA
About N500million was lost to the Bwari Violence and market fire.
Residents of Bwari, the capital of Bwari Area Council in Abuja, have continued to count their losses following the violence that engulfed the area on Christmas Day.

According to my neighbors, Bwari market was razed as a result of the clash between Gbagi and Hausa youth which left at least four people dead. The violence was said to have started on Christmas Eve after a Hausa man reportedly killed a Gbagi man. In a bid for revenge, the Gbagis residing in the area burnt down the Bwari market on Christmas day.
I also live in Bwari, just blocks away from the market, but, travelled to Lagos on the 16th of December before the fight ensued. I couldn't hold back the tears as I saw what was left of the market. I sobbed uncontrollably as I went round the once bubbly market, hearing the woes of the traders and residents.
Some residents, neighbours and market men and women I had the opportunity to speak with, said they lost all their property and lives hard work. Most of them had just stocked their shops with goods for Christmas and New Year sales but all was brought to nought.

It was definitely a black Chrismas as there was no celebration for Bwari residents.

Although soldiers, policemen and naval officers have been patrolling the community since then but, the bitter aftermath still lingers. Traders and residents have to start from scratch. Most have already left the community.
Due to the clash, the Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, Minister, Musa Bello, imposed a 6pm-6am curfew on the troubled community, which is now 8pm-6am(dusk to dawn).
PLEASE PRAY FOR BWARI

The crisis in Bwari has been resolved but there are still some people who are not satisfied with the outcome. Some people have lost their jobs, some have been asked to work elsewhere and some have been asked to return their salary which they have been paid since December last year. In fact, there is no job security for our workers as we don't know what will happen next. You should try this VPN Meraki milwaukee fr more useful reviews. Some workers have been threatened by their employers that they would not be paid if they do not show up for work on time and some others were asked to come back at 8pm instead of 9pm which means they will not get overtime pay or overtime allowance.
