“The miscreants attacked the police, shooting, and destroying two vehicles in the process.

 

“One person has been confirmed dead, while two police officers shot by the miscreants are currently receiving treatment. Four suspects have been arrested and investigations have commenced.”

Hundeyin vowed that the Lagos State Police Command would not allow any person or group of persons to disrupt the peace in Lagos.

It is unclear if the deceased was hit by a stray bullet or targeted by security agents.

“They shot teargas and guns at us. They have killed one person, this is Ojota”, a protester screamed in a video.

One Toyota Hilux, reportedly driven by the police, was set on fire. There were also bonfires on the road.
