A chieftain of the National Union of Road Transport Workers in Lagos Sulaiman Lawal has been in Lagos.
Lawal, popularly called Arikuyeri, was killed during a face off between two rival gangs who are members of the union at the Mile 12 Branch of the union.
Recall that members of the NURTW have come under the Lagos State Park Management Committee, under the chairmanship of Musliu Akinsanya, popularly called MC Oluomo.
Arikuyeri is the chairman of the Mile 12 branch of the committee.
Videos of the incident sighted by the NPO Reports showed loyalists of the slain motor park chieftain moving from one area to another in the Owode Elede, Mike 12, Ketu Owode Onirin parts of the community.
They were seen attacking many residents forcing many traders to close shops while many residents shut their doors to avert stray bullets.
Gunshots were heard for many hours as the supporters marauded the area shouting there must be consequences for the killing of their man.
He was seen being cut with cutlasses and other dangerous weapons by gang members.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who is the spokesman for the Lagos Police Command, while confirming the killing, said Command’s men had arrived and taken control of the situation.
The control was however not until after one person had been killed.
