Traders have deserted the bustling market in Gudu District Abuja, following the killing of an unnamed man on Thursday.

According to an eye witness, everyone left the market in fear after the corpse of a man was found in the vicinity, adding that the market has been shut down. 

“Because of the attack by thugs on Tuesday, everyone was afraid that the violence may spread to the market. So, we all locked our shops and ran.

Confirming the incident, the FCT police spokesperson, ASP Mariam Yusuf, said operatives had been deployed to provide security at the facility.
