LAGOS—Three persons were shot dead yesterday, during a shootout between hoodlums and some officers attached to the Federal Operations Zone A, Ikeja, of the Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, at White Sand community in Ijora Badia area of Lagos State.

Three others, among who was a Customs officer, also sustained gunshot injuries.

Trouble started, Monday, following a clash between Hausa and Yoruba residents over accusation by the latter that the former had been terrorising the area.

A resident, Tajudeen Shamsudeen, explained that a boy, identified as Ojo, said to be on his way home, was allegedly stabbed to death by some Hausa boys.

Shamsudeen said: “For long, these Hausa boys have been attacking people here. They waylay people, dispose them of cash and belongings. Even rulers of both ethnic groups are aware of the issue.”

The attack on Ojo, according to him, sparked a riot during which dangerous weapons were freely used by both parties.

But for the timely arrival of policemen from Ijora Badia, the situation would have assumed a violent dimension. 10 persons were said to have been arrested in connection with the unrest.

Demolition

Vanguard gathered that demolition of shanties in the troubled community started yesterday morning.

While unconfirmed reports had it that it was on the order of the state government, the Hausa alleged that the demolition was carried out in their places of abode only.

While the demolition was ongoing, some Custom officers, who residents alleged were invited by the Seriki Hausa, stormed the community in three patrol vehicles at about 2.30p.m. They were alleged to have fired sporadically to scare off some hoodlums, who were roaming the area.

The hoodlums were said to have resisted the Customs men, who allegedly attempted to stop the demolition, an action that led to a shootout, during which three persons were felled by bullets.

One of the bullets from the hoodlums hit a Customs officer. The Customs men then fled the scene, heading towards Apapa.

As at 5p.m., Vanguard gathered that the injured officer was being treated at the Lagoon Hospital, Apapa, with two police patrol vans stationed within the hospital premises.

One of those hit by a stray bullet was Azeez Tajudeen. Eyewitnesses said he was first taken to the police station for a police report, before being rushed to an undisclosed hospital.

Police story

Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmus, a Superintendent of Police, however, said only one person died, while two others are recuperating in the hospital.

She said:”The community and the police were on a joint operation of raiding black spots within the community and arresting suspected criminals yesterday.

“In the process, some officers of the Nigerian Customs Service officers, who were with officials of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, had an encounter with some of the hoodlums.

“They fired some shots and three people were hit. As a result, one death was recorded, while two others are receiving treatment in the hospital. Policemen are not involved.”

Why are these hausas not respecting their 'accommodating' hosts

Why are these hausas always causing trouble on another man land?

When will oba akiolu threaten these hausas with drowning in the lagoon for goodness sake?

Have they not done enough already?

Someone should go and call akiolu now.

Hausa, make una respect una 'sophisticated & accomodating' hosts una hear?

Watch as the will leave hausas and start attacking igbos here now.

Clean out all the ghettos.
Anyone who cannot afford a proper home should go back to their state

omenka:
Vanguard, always creating storms in tea cups.

They should concentrate on reporting news from Uganda and stories about the Red Albino Bonobo Monkey in Kuje abeg.

They South Westerners can handle their issues themselves.

Meanwhile, the Bonobo Monkey is about to celebrate his one year anniversary of extreme leguminous feeding in Kuje- I hope Vanguard marks it. I'm ready to spare some dead presidents on a full coloured center spread advert in felicitation!! Another great Madiba is in the making!!

1year down, 27 left to go!

coward,you will prefer them not to report anything against your slave masters.

oduastates:

you dont throw stones into the market cos it may hit one of your family members.

If the government decides to clean the ghettos, majority of your brother will relocate to osun and Oyo state and I'm sure osun cannot pay NEPA bills now, let alone accommodating an extra agbero.

I'm sure omenka will end up going back to benue if this happens and he may end up at the edge of a fulani man's machete

The famous EWUSA shameless azz licker is here.

kanu is a free man in prison but you are in prison despite your physical freedom. He has unshacked his own mind and the truth he preaches breaks through the prison walls to liberate the minds of million. Here you are walking free but your brain imprisoned by lies and falsehood. Worst still, you are confined to think about him and only him, even in the face of the butchery suffered by your fellow one Nigerianists. What form of imprisonment could be worse!

In summary, Lagos is in deep shit!

oduastates:

we know it is the "hosts" that will be mostly affected if they start cleaning ghettos in Lagos.

I think there's a crusade covertly going on in Lagos....

Yet, the dogs prefer to play with the bone while invited wolves feed on its puppies.

Mehnn...

Let the afonjas blame ipod yooth

Islamic State of Oduduwastan (ISO) loading.........
When are the Hausa/Fulanis replacing all Oba in yorubaland with the Emir title?

They will not talk. Even if they are wiped off, they have the Vice Presidential slot. A post occupied by a pastor who has remained silent in the face of threat to his region and religion nationwide.

oba akiolu is the next to be replaced.

His big mouth will not save him and he has become so dumb in the face of atrocities committed by the hausas in Lagos.

The fulanis have taken Ilorin now hausas want to take Lagos.

Igbos need to be careful ooo if we think we own Lagos because it's like these hausas also need Lagos.

With the way thing are going akiolu may soon abandon his throne and flee into cotonou for refuge.

Between Niger Delta militants and okada riding hausas who will be the first to take Lagos?

Na waoo
