Police officers deployed after hoodlums clash on Lagos Island (Photos)
Gunshots were fired yesterday when rival groups of hoodlums clashed on Lagos Island.
The incident reportedly disrupted activities in the Idumota area of Lagos Island.
It isn’t yet clear what started the fight.
There were reports of shooting in the area, while the hoodlums were said to have fought with broken bottles which made people within the vicinity scamper to safety while sellers deserted their goods.
The clash reportedly started yesterday and continued into the early hours of today.
A viral video seen by newsmen showed deserted streets with closed shops.
However, giving an update on the security situation as of this afternoon, a statement by the rapid response squad unit of the Lagos police command noted that calm had returned to the area.
