Millions of properties including shops have been burnt in Fagba, Iju Ishaga area of Lagos following a clash between Hausa and Yoruba youths.

According to reports, the clash sprang up from the #EndSARS protest which has raised tensions in Lagos for over two weeks.

A shop owner in the area simply identified as Yemi told Qed.ng that his store which houses electronic devices was razed with goods worth over N10 million in it.
