Lagosians were shocked about the violent clashes in Mushin , Lagos mainland.
Opposing groups of miscreants also called ‘area boys had engaged themselves in a do-or-die tussle for supremacy , at the end of which , five people were killed and property estimated at several millions destroyed.
The troubled areas in Mushin are now returning to normal but another rumble has been going on, this time in the Orile area of the same mainland .
Again, groups of miscreants and street urchins are battling each other for supremacy. Although no one has confirmed rumours that four people were killed , private cars and tricycles popularly calledKeke Marwa or Keke Napep have been damged , shops looted and two young children kidnapped.
The nerve -centre of the clashes is Sari Iganmu Street where the confrontation between the groups over who collects tolls from commercial tricycle operators in Orile bus stop has been most violent.
Since Friday, residents have been under a siege of sorts as the miscreants’ activities have all but paralysed the area. The worst of the clashes so far took place on Saturday when around 9.am, pandemonium suddenly broke out. www.naijapaymentsonline.com
