During a brawl between soldiers and a few businessmen on Saturday, police have been sent to Banex, an electronics and telecoms market in Abuja.
A free-for-all brawl at Banex earlier in the day featured several citizens defeating a few military in a video that went viral on social media.
Punch was informed by a dealer who only went by Abdul that the argument started because of a cell phone that was being sold.

Adeh affirmed, “The CP has sent the Intelligence Response Team to the scene.”
