Three persons died while several others sustained
injuries, during a violent clash that occurred Monday between some social miscreants popularly known as Area Boys and Policemen in Ikotun, Lagos.
The clash began after some Police officers from Area 'M' Command, Idimu, stormed an Indian hemp joint around Agbole area of Ikotun to arrest some suspected hoodlums, eyewitnesses disclosed.
The clash however became violent when the suspects
resisted the arrest, struggling with the officers.
In the heat of the heightened argument between
both parties, one of the Police officers allegedly "fired
a shot which killed one of the suspects on the spot."
To protest the death his death, over a hundred
youths, armed with dangerous weapons, stormed
Ikotun division hours later.
We gathered that the youth attempted burning down
the station as policemen fired some shots into the air
to disperse them all.
Three persons were shot dead while several others
sustained injuries in the process, eyewitnesses said.
