The clash between okada riders and police officers in Iyana Ipaja has allegedly led to the death of a female student.
In a video shared online, a schoolgirl clad in her school uniform can be seen lying motionless on the floor. Blood soaked through her school uniform and concerned people tried to tie a cloth around her to stem the blood flow.
There was a commotion around her as people screamed in distress as they tried unsuccessfully to offer whatever comfort they could to the dying girl.
In videos shared online earlier today, people can be seen running for their lives as the riot broke out. Aggrieved Lagosians also lit tyres and planks on fire during the riot. (LIB)
