Police officers and okada riders have clashed in Ogba, Lagos state, after an officer allegedly shot a commercial motorcylist.
PUNCH Metro reports the unrest began on Thursday, when a policeman refused to pay an okada rider for his service.
It is believed that 2 individuals were allegedly killed last night.
“It’s a bike man vs policemen fight. An Okada rider rendered a service to a policeman yesterday, then asked for money after dropping him off. He was shot by the policeman who refused to pay him.
“There was a sporadic shooting this morning, some minutes ago. All the Okada riders are off their bikes getting ready for a riot,” the source said.
As of the time of documenting this report, CSP, Muyiwa Adejobi, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, was yet to respond to calls and messages from PUNCH Metro.
UPDATE: The policemen at Ogba (Area G) keeps oppressing the bike men, they killed 2 yesterday night, still came back this morning to continue the oppression.
