Mayhem visited Lekki Phase 1, Lagos on the morning of November 28, 2014 as bus drivers and unidentified men clashed with commercial motorcyclists (popularly called Okada riders), leaving many injured.
The entry route into the estate was blocked by rioters armed with machetes and other dangerous weapons, leaving many stranded outside, causing traffic along the Lekki Expressway.
The incident which started at about 8:00AM, residents and eye witnesses explain, saw Lekki Estate Shuttle drivers engage with Okada riders as a response to an earlier attack carried out by the latter the night before.
Pulse.ng who witnessed the rioting spoke with an eye witness (who’d rather remain anonymous);
“It all started yesterday when the Hausa okada riders attacked the bus drivers, they shattered the windows of the buses and injured a few bus drivers. This morning, the drivers with the help of some men caught some of these okada riders and beat them to a pulp”.
