The Lagos State Police Command has clarified that the officers involved in the incident that led to okadamen (commercial bike riders) killing one person were on illegal duty. It was also noted that they had been detained.

Furthermore, the police authorities said the dead was not a policeman, but a civilian.

Recall that a video, showing some okadamen repeatedly riding their bikes over the body of a dead man, had gone viral.

Commenting, some people had said the dead man was an officer, prompting a reaction from the state police command.

The Command, through Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the video does not show a police officer.

Rather, he said, the victim was a civilian deployed by two police officers to carry out an illegal duty.

In a tweet on his official X page, Hundeyin said: “Two police officers attached to the Lagos State Task Force on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, went on illegal duty, taking some civilians with them to shore up their number.

“They came under attack from motorcycle riders, resulting in the death of one of the civilians.

“While disciplinary actions have commenced on the already detained police officers, and a search is on for their civilian accomplices.

“Investigations have commenced to identify, arrest, and prosecute the perpetrators of this dastardly act.”


In the video circulating online, a man is lying on the ground with blood gushing out from his body, while some bike riders repeatedly rode over his body.

These people in the picture below are preparing to repeat same scenario in Lagos state few years from now

How Hausa Okada riders managed to kill a Yoruba man in Yorubaland and there's peace is what I don't understand.

Can Yoruba men kill Hausa man in the north and go scot free?

They will always change the narrative.

I don't know why they fear Northerners so much.



The same thing they did when Northern soldiers killed their brother Adekule Fajuyi.



Instead of confronting north and ask why they killed their brother,they changed the story to Adekule Fajuyi asked Northern soldiers to kill him together with Ironsi.


Now imagine if he was killed by Eastern soldiers and they were told he asked them to kill him.
