Three persons were shot dead on Tuesday during a shootout
between hoodlums and some officers attached to the
Federal Operations Zone A, Ikeja of the Nigerian Customs
Service at White Sand community in Ijora Badia area of
Lagos State.
Three others, among who was a Customs officer, also
sustained gunshot injuries.
Trouble started on Monday following a clash between Hausa
and Yoruba residents over accusation by the latter that the
former had been terrorising the area.
A resident, Tajudeen Shamsudeen, explained that a boy,
identified as Ojo, said to be on his way home, was allegedly
stabbed to death by some Hausa boys.
Shamsudeen said: “For long, these Hausa boys have been
attacking people here.
“They waylay people, dispose them of cash and belongings.
“Even rulers of both ethnic groups are aware of the issue.”
The attack on Ojo, according to Shamsudeen, sparked a riot
during which dangerous weapons were freely used by both
parties.
But for the timely arrival of policemen from Ijora Badia, the
situation would have assumed a violent dimension.
Ten persons were said to have been arrested in connection
with the unrest.
It was gathered that demolition of shanties in the troubled
community started on Tuesday morning.
While unconfirmed reports had it that it was on the order of
the state government, the Hausa alleged that the demolition
was carried out in their places of abode only.
While the demolition was ongoing, some Customs officers,
who residents alleged were invited by the Seriki Hausa,
stormed the community in three patrol vehicles at about
2.30pm.

They were alleged to have fired sporadically to scare off
some hoodlums, who were roaming the area.
The hoodlums were said to have resisted the Customs men,
who allegedly attempted to stop the demolition, an action
that led to a shootout, during which three persons were
felled by bullets.
One of the bullets from the hoodlums hit a Customs officer.
The Customs men then fled the scene, heading towards
Apapa.
As at 5pm, it was gathered that the injured officer was being
treated at the Lagoon Hospital, Apapa, with two police patrol
vans stationed within the hospital premises.
One of those hit by a stray bullet was Azeez Tajudeen.
Eyewitnesses said he was first taken to the police station for
a police report before being rushed to an undisclosed
hospital.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations
Officer, Dolapo Badmus, a Superintendent of Police,
however, said only one person died, while two others are
recuperating in the hospital.
Badmos said: “The community and the police were on a
joint operation of raiding black spots within the community
and arresting suspected criminals yesterday.
“In the process, some officers of the Nigerian Customs
Service officers, who were with officials of the National
Emergency Management Agency, had an encounter with
some of the hoodlums.
“They fired some shots and three people were hit.
“As a result, one death was recorded, while two others are
receiving treatment in the hospital.
“Policemen are not involved.”
