Three people were allegedly killed at Iyana School Bus Stop, along LASU-Iba Road, Lagos State on Friday during a clash between Okada riders and police.
According to Vanguard investigation, policemen from the Division stormed the Okada park at Iyana School Bus Stop, seizing commercial bikes, an action that was met with heavy resistance from the cyclists who alleged that the ban on Okada in Lagos State did not apply to the area.
While the reports say that commercial cyclists in the area attacked a team of policemen from Isashi Division led by the Station Officer (SO) and the Operations Officer.
Trouble started when the officers allegedly started shooting sporadically which sources said resulted in the death of three persons.
According to a food vendor, Iya Bukola, who claimed to have witnessed the incident, when the Okada riders resisted to give their bikes to the policemen, the officers started shooting sporadically.
“We were all here when policemen came to the park and started seizing bikes from the Okada riders. When the Okada riders resisted, they started shooting sporadically and they killed two people instantly while several others escaped with gun shot wounds. When the shooting started I ran out of my shop for fear of being hit by stray bullet. It was while I was running that I fell down and sustained this injury on my leg,” Iya Bukola said.
Lamenting, Abimbola Aliu, a commercial cyclist, said: “See how they have changed the story, they said we attacked them. Is it possible for Okada riders to attack the police? The law of restriction on certain routes by the state government does not affect this place. So when they said they were attacked by commercial bike operators at a black spot, they should please show the world where the black spot is at Iyana School Bus Stop. We have been enduring all this intimidation and it has become unbearable. One of the victims was at the car wash when a bullet hit him.”
