LAGOS DECEMBER 6TH (URHOBOTODAY )-Three mediators were reported to have injured as two rivals fight over who wins the heart of a 16-year-old salesgirl, identified as Juliana Itoro in Asaba, Delta State.
The fight, which started between two rivals, saw three mediators (men) seriously injured and taken to the Federal Medical Center (FMC) Asaba, where they are currently receiving treatment, while the two rivals were arrested and whisked away by the police.
According to an eyewitness, Azuka Eze, fight broke out yesterday when the two rivals coincidentally ran into each other when trying to catch a glimpse of a promo show organised by a group of marketers for their products.
Police officers at the A division of the state command, who spoke to newsmen on the condition of anonymity, said the two rivals caused a scene after few minutes of verbal crossfire, which degenerated into a fight with the use of dangerous weapons, leading to the mediators sustaining injuries in an attempt to separate them.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Delta State, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, said the two men were arrested for disturbing public peace.
