According to Daily Trust, the market was closed down by men of the Nigerian Police who restored peace after the fight broke out.
Panteka market is a major spare parts centre which houses many mechanic garages in the state. According to an eyewitness, named Aminu Ibrahim, he said
the trouble started when one Muhammad bought a dog and allegedly named it Ibere after an Igbo trader.

The Igbo trader, Ibere also bought a dog and named it Muhammad, this is when all hell was let loose.”
Subsequently, a fight erupted between Hausa and Igbo traders in the market which led to the closure of the market by the police.
