BREAKING: Soldiers shutdown Oshodi Lagos as hoodlums mob Air Force personnel to death (VIDEO)

Many residents and passengers are currently stranded in Oshodi, Lagos State, as soldiers have taken over major places in the area.

Reports says the military personnel stormed the area on Thursday morning to avenge the death of an officer of the Nigerian Air Force, who was allegedly mobbed to death by hoodlums.

Many vehicles, especially commercial buses have been destroyed, while some persons were assaulted by the aggrieved security operatives.

Some residents heading to work were trapped in the ensuing violence while students have fled back home.

Traders cleaning up their stores on the day of the weekly sanitation also fled just as some transporters abandoned their vehicles.

The situation has worsened the traffic situation in the cosmopolitan city as there is currently no movement in and out the part of Oshodi where the rampaging soldiers are.
