A
riot broke out this morning in Lekki Phase 1 following thugs/motorcycle riders clash. The cause of the riot has not been fully
established but according to some residents, the chairman of
the Eti-Osa local government area allegedly engaged the services of
touts to confiscate any motorcycle seen within the area.
The
touts allegedly beat up one of the Okada men after he refused to let
them seize his motorcycle and this led to a serious fight between
some of the Okada men, bus drivers and the thugs. The police was
immediately called
in to stop the riot from escalating. The gate leading to the estate
was shut immediately. See some photos after the cut...
