There was a serious mayhem this morning in Ojota, a community in Lagos metropolis, that claimed one life.
Trouble started when groups clamouring for an independent Yoruba Nation were staging a protest. When the Police tried to stop it, there was a clash.
“We were just hearing gunshots,” a resident said. “As usual, I woke up early to go to work and I saw people running everywhere. I had to ran back home for safety.”
While some media reported that three persons, including a policeman, lost their lives during the fracas, Benjamin Hundeyin, a Superintendent of Police, and the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, however, confirmed that one person died.
Cops were later drafted there to restore order.
