One Dies, Four Injured as Yoruba Nation Agitators Protest

One person has been confirmed dead while two police officers were shot by miscreants masquerading as Yoruba Nation agitators who disrupted activities in the Ojota area of Lagos State on Monday.

Shooting and protest disrupted social and economic activities in the early hours of today with the miscreants attacking a team of police officers, comprising Alausa Division and the Raid Respond Squad (RRS) who promptly stepped in to disperse the unlawful gathering and prevent a breakdown of law and order.

It was gathered that four suspects have been arrested and an investigation has commenced.

The miscreants also attacked the police, shooting, and destroying two vehicles with a pump action rifle in the process.

Confirming the incident, the Spokesperson to the Lagos State Police Command SP Benjamin Hundeyin stated that normalcy has been restored while assuring citizens to go about their legitimate hustle.

“It is imperative to state unequivocally that the Lagos State Police Command will not allow any person or group of persons, under whatever guise, to disrupt the peace currently enjoyed in the State,” he concluded.
