One person has been killed and many others injured following a clash between hoodlums on Monday, in Lagos.
The clash was said to have erupted during the annual Egungun festival, allegedly by some members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
According to reports, warring factions of the NURTW got street gangs from Oke-Arin, Sura Apongbon and Agarawu/Idumagbo to attack their opponents, forcing people to scamper to safety.
The Sunday at Apongbo has left a man identified as Junior dead and at least two others injured, unsatisfied by that the gangs continued the fight on Monday evening, forcing shop owners and residents to flee for safety.
