Policemen have allegedly shot two persons dead while two others were injured on Saturday during a clash between commercial motorcyclists known as okada riders and policemen at the Otunoba Itire area of Lagos.
According to reports, some policemen from the Itire division seized motorcycles from two riders who were Hausa around 8am on Saturday and took the bikes to their station.
The owners of the motorcycles were said to have reported the incident to their members who followed them to the police station on motorcycles to protest the seizure.
The police fired teargas canisters to disperse the protesters, who in turn reportedly hurled stones and planks at the cops.
