OKADA PROTEST: 5 Policemen Arrested, Another Protester Shot Dead (PHOTO)

Commercial activities were paralysed for the better part of Wednesday in Ikorodu area of Lagos, as commercial motorcyclists took to the streets in continued protest of the death of one of them, Tuesday, by a policeman attached to the Rapid Response Squad, RRS.

However, the policeman whose bullet allegedly snuffed life out the motorcyclist identified as Olalekan Ajayi has been arrested alongside other members of his team.

The protest which was reportedly hijacked by hoodlums turned violent as some motorists plying the routes reportedly had their windscreens shattered while a lorry loaded with fruits was allegedly hijacked by the protesters.

A corpse identified as that of one Femi, a mechanic, was reportedly discovered at Ikorodu roundabout. He was said to have been hit by stray bullets, with the actual circumstance yet to be ascertained.

While eye witnesses alleged that Femi felled from stray bullets from the police, another version had it that he was hit by stray bullet from some members of a cult group.

The protesters, as gathered, attempted to burn down the Shagamu/Ikorodu road police division but were dispersed with tear-gas canisters fired by policemen from divisions under Area N command.

The traditional ruler of Ikorodu town was sighted with the Area commander, Amos Macus, appealing to the protesters for calm.

It was, however, gathered that a policeman attacked, Tuesday, by some motorcyclists was still on danger list at an undisclosed hospital. The policeman with an unknown identity was among the RRS men who accosted a commercial motorcyclist for violating traffic laws. Appeal by the erring motorcyclist with unknown identity to the policemen reportedly fell on deaf ears as his motorbike was confiscated.

At that point, his colleagues were said to have clustered round the police team and in the process, allegedly attacked them in a bid to free their colleague's motorbike.
