There was pandemonium in the Agbowo area of Iwo local government council area on Friday, as a result of a vi*lent clash between two different associations of bread bakers.
The altercation occured as a result of an att*ck by the Masters Bakers Association, Iwo branch on Albadr Bakers, another independent group of bread bakers in the ancient town.
It was gathered that the clash was because of the refusal of Albadr Bakers to hike the price of their bread in compliance with the directives of the Master Bakers Association.
NoticeNG reports that Allhaji Areweyo, the Iwo Master Bakers Chairman with some hired hoodlums, allegedly led the att*ck on their opponent and in the process a pregnant customer sustained serious injuries as a result of the severe beating that was meted on her.
In an emotional laden voice, a staff of Albadr Bakers, stated that the reason for their decision not to increase the price of their bread was because the management of the bakery felt that it cannot continue to add to the emotional distress of the people which the economic hardship experienced in the country had caused.
