Members of the Hausa community –Northerners – residing in Onitsha area of Anambra were reported to have gone into hiding in the wake of the violent pro-Biafra protest in the area which claimed eleven lives.
According to The Punch, the Northerners – baristas, shoe menders, green grocers, barbecue sellers and allied workers – who fled the town following the two-day pro-Biafran agitation fracas are yet to be seen in public.
It was learnt that they did not open shops on Saturday, December 5, 2015.
Bear in mind, during the Biafran agitation mayhem, the Onitsha central mosque, a nomadic school and many other properties belonging to the Hausa community were destroyed.
More findings say most of them were seeking refuge in the Nigerian Army and Nigeria Police barracks in the area, apparently for fear of attacks.
Meanwhile, Daily Post reports has it that as at Friday morning, December 4, Northerners were sighted departing Onisha and Asaba.

The funny thing is that no one has ever shown the picture of the purported burnt mosque. For me this is just plight to instigate people against one another.
Authoritatively from independent eyewitness reports from Onitsha, the place that was torched were some kiosks near the mosque and no mosque was torched that's how come up til now you don't have any picture of the so called burnt mosque be it on the social media or elsewhere.
Also the reported Dangote trucks that were burnt has been proven to be a 2013 picture of Dangote trucks that were caught up in an inferno somewhere on the exoress road and had nothing to do with Onitsha. Again there is no eye witness report that any Dangote truck is presently burnt or torched in Onitsha. all propaganda to incite people against another.

The hausa guys are really afraid because the thought that by anytime anything else could happen as well please let the Nigerian government look forward for the solution so that everyone can live in peace.
