The previous weeks have recorded rounds of violence in the Mushin area of the city with heavy casualties from warring factions as well as even innocent residents of the area.
The NURTW clash was said to be between the Isale-Eko faction and Onola-Agarawu-Itafaji boys over the on-going leadership crisis in NURTW.
Streets affected by the clash were Onala, Isale-gangan, Aro Lawyer, Jankara, Dosumu, Adeniji, Princess, Agarawu, Itafaji and other suburbs.
As at press time, about 12 persons were reportedly injured just as five cars were burnt by the warring factions.
The fight which started at about 4am Monday was just one in a series of clashes by the NURTW that has hit the area in recent times with rising casualty figures. The area had literally sat on a keg of gunpowder, as it explodes regularly, and most times uncontrolled.
An eyewitness said one of the warring factions mostly made up of youths had stormed Isale-Gangan street and set two cars ablaze.
In the ensuing melee, they reportedly pushed one of the cars inside the building at No. 28; Isale-Igangan Street. The building which housed a photo studio named New Star Photo and an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) was set ablaze by the hoodlums after bathing the building with petrol.
The eyewitness said the building was razed because the attempt to loot the ATM was unsuccessful.
THISDAY gathered that peace was only restored to the area when riot policemen as well as Rapid Response Squad (RRS) personnel arrived.
Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) were also deployed in Itafaji, Idumagbo Avenue and Tom Jones areas of the Island to forestall more mayhem. Residents had been living in fear on a daily basis because of the running factional crisis.
According to a resident who identified himself as Jide Olabode, the hoodlums from Isale-Eko had stormed the area in the dead of the night all geared up for a fight.
