One killed in Lagos Okada rider, police clash
A yet-to-be-identified motorcyclist (Okada rider) has lost his life during a clash between commercial motorcyclists and the police in Abule-Egba, Lagos.
The police spokesman in Lagos, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident on Tuesday on his verified Twitter handle.
According to Mr Hundeyin, after a crash involving a car and a motorcycle on the Abule-Egba bridge at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, motorcycle riders started to cause a public disturbance.
He said police arrived at the scene to quell the unrest, but the motorcyclists violently attacked the policemen.
“We are fully aware of the disturbances in the Oko-Oba area of Lagos state. This resulted in the death of one of the riders. Normalcy has been restored to the area. The police in Oko-Oba are fully on the ground to forestall any breakdown of law and order,” he said.
