OKADA RIDERS' FIGHT: POLICE RESTORE NORMALCY TO IYANA IBA/ALABA RAGO AXIS, DEBUNK RUMOUR OF ETHNIC CLASH.

The Lagos State @PoliceNG Command has restored normalcy to the Iyana Iba/Alaba Rago and Ojo areas of the state where there was a disagreement between the members of the transport unions, okada units precisely, on the increment in tariff today, Monday 26th April, 2021.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has ordered for immediate deployment of additional police personnel to the area to maintain law and order as he also directed the Area Commander, Area E Festac, to personally be on ground to monitor the situation and invite the leaders of the affected Okada riders unit for an urgent meeting.
The Command wishes to debunk the rumor that the disgreement, not violence as being peddled in the social media, was between some ethnic groups. Without mincing words, the incident has no ethic colouration whatsoever but a mere conflict between transport unions and their okada units on ticketing and increment in tariff.

The Command therefore enjoins members of the public, especially those around the areas, including the students of the Lagos State University (LASU) Ojo, to go about their lawful businesses and studies respectively, as adequate deployment has been done to fortify security in the axis and by extension, in Lagos State in general.

I hate the media. Most of the tribal war we have presently is caused by poor and selfish report. The fight was purely between okada riders ( Yoruba Igbo Hausa Niger Delta's e.t.c) and Agberos but they made it look as if it was a tribal thing. Meanwhile, that road you're seeing in the pictures that looks like a street is suppose to be an expressway that leads to various countries in westAfrica.
