Irate commercial motorcyclists, popularly called, Okada
riders, went on rampage yesterday in Akowonjo area of Alimosho Local
Government when one of their colleagues was crushed to death by a fast moving
articulated vehicle at Akowonjo roundabout.
The incident which occurred at about 6pm, resulted in traffic gridlock as motorists got stranded for hours.
According to eyewitness, the deceased simply identified as Rahman by his colleagues, who was about 27 years, was trying to evade arrest by the policemen who were on patrol in the area, apparently to enforce restriction of okada on that particular road as specified by the Lagos Traffic Law.
