LAGOS – Lagos State Police Command has said that a combined team of police and other security agents has been deployed to Idumota and its environs on Lagos Island to quell the gang fight that erupted in the neighbourhood on Thursday.

It was gathered that two factional hoodlums popularly known as area boys clashed in the area around 12 pm on Thursday, forcing several traders at the bustling commercial centre to abruptly shut down their shops.

Videos of the clash went viral on Friday, with one of the clips showing a bloodied youth being carried away in a wheelbarrow.

The Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, said that normalcy had returned to the community.

He said, “The police have quelled the crisis. Sufficient facilities were deployed in the area immediately we received a distress call and normalcy was restored. As we speak, the place is calm. I can’t confirm if any arrest was made for now or the cause of the fight. Investigation is ongoing.

“That was what led to the clash between the two factional members of NURTW  were arguing on, where two persons were killed on Thursday night and two other persons on Friday. As a result of that, we couldn’t come out nor open our shops, it was gunshots everywhere on the Island since Thursday.”

Reacting to the allegation against him, Alhaji Adekunle Lawan alias Kunle Poly said the NURTW Lagos State Chairman, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya is behind the crisis on the Island.

He said he was out of Lagos when the crisis started, but immediately the information about the clash got to him, he had to make a detour back to Lagos.

“A lot of my boys have been killed for refusing to be part of them, today make it four years hire assassins were sent to kill me, unfortunately, my personal assistant was killed in the process. I have also done everything humanly possible to make peace with the State Chairman, I have also begged him in the presence of  Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG Hakeem Odumosu. 

“I don’t have a problem with anyone at my park, on December 8, 2021 we were with the governor, I have 19 units out of it, the State Chairman collected 12 units leaving seven units for me. Simply because I didn’t support him for his chairmanship ambition then, that I am loyal to former Chairman Alhaj Tajudeen Agbede.”

May they rest in hell since they've decided to make Lagos hot for people

May they rest in the hottest part of hell, idiots

Very sad situation.

Human life is no more sacred

I about time government deal with NURTW like criminals.

Na them sabi... MC go settle them.

Tinubu boys.

Agbero kill agbero.

Police will never show up.

The Nigerian Police will wear mofti and pass there.

Gbas gbos

The same party has ruled Lagos since the inception of democracy in 1999 and this is the result. An agberocratic government

Imagine the tout leader saying that the governor called him and his rival for a peace meeting. People that should be in jail...

Sanwoolu just proved to be a puppet with no power of his own to rein in the excesses of Agebros in Lagos.

Last time it was a deadly clash between NURTW and RTEAN boys just by Kam Selem house at Obalende where the Nigeria Police force is headquartered, yet no single arrest was recorded as the authority was equally helpless.

I hope Tinubu is happy with the legacy he bequeathed Lagos, the center of excellence.

If na IPOB, front page straight, and Afonja miscreants with their Almajiri masters would be advising IGBO.

These miscreants are terrorist and they must all be killed and they must DIE!!

Udele1

oyigboupdate

What is going on ? I thought Rivers is the only state with cultism and gang violence ? If so, why am I seeing this type of thing in Eko ? Chaii !!!! Lagos state of blood once again

I double dare the Lagos state government to arrest MC Oluomo and Kunle Poly for investigations

These are the touts tinibu is hoping on to use to rig the presidential election.

Tinubu urchins are killing themselves

They should be alive and see their godfather embarrassed at the polls in 2023 please.

We read in the other thread how a whole Lagos State govt is “begging” them to stop.

“Begging”....

Vote for Tinubu and that’s what the entire Nigeria would become.

Special thanks to Tinubu

May all agbero in Lagos die a miserable death
