Panic in Ogba after three okada riders were allegedly shot during clash with police

TopNaija reports that three okada riders were allegedly shot dead by security operatives in Ogba.

The incident happened around Mokuolu Street in Ogba around 6 pm on Thursday, May 6.

The clash between the commercial motorcyclists and the Task Force was elicited by efforts of security agents to enforce Okada ban in the area.

The security agents met resistance and this resulted in a clash, with three okada riders reportedly shot dead.

Unfortunately, one of the Okada riders reportedly died this morning, prompting other riders to embark on protest, but they were subsequently dispatched by security agencies.

The state police command had deployed a detachment of mobile policemen and plain clothed officers to maintain law and order, Daily Trust reports.

Roads leading to Excellence Roundabout, Ogba Market and WAEC have been blocked with vans of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) unit of the police.
