The Lagos-Abeokuta Express blocked this evening by an angry mob over the alleged killing of a Yahoo Boy by operatives of the Federal Speaical Anti-Robbery Squad, SaharaReporters report.
A commuter currently
stranded on that road told reporters that street urchins set fire on
both sides of the road in protest of the killing of a prominent Yahoo
boy around Punch Estate, Mangoro, by men of the Federal Special
Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS).
The commuter quoted a witness of the
incident as saying other boys in the area angered by the killing
started the fire on both lanes of the road; and whenever it went down,
they reignited it.
As of 8:15pm, the gridlock had reached Iyana-Ipaja on the side towards Oshodi and PWD on the side towards Mangoro.
Police or traffic management officials had not been sighted at the scene of the fire as of press time.
