According to reports, there’s tension in the Magodo Isheri area of Lagos State, as thugs reportedly are enforcing a court order, by engaging their counterparts in the Isheri area in a duel.
They made an open display, armed with matchets, engaging themselves in a fight, all estates gates around that area have been locked, and people locked their houses and refused to come out for the fear of these hoodlums
According to a resident, a lot of people are locked in their houses as they cannot go about their normal business since the estate gate has been locked for safety. Although he revealed that men of the Lagos State Police command are already there trying to curtail the situation.
He however said that he won’t go out until calm is restored in the estate, as the fighting is still ongoing.
“As I speak with you, a lot of people are trapped in their houses; they cannot go out because the estate gate is locked. The people claiming that they have a court judgment are fighting. It is a serious clash and the police and men of the Rapid Response Squad have been mobilized to control the situation.
“I can’t leave the estate because the security guards have locked the gate. The clash is still ongoing as I speak with you. I will only go out when normalcy has been restored,” the resident said.
Sometimes it’s a wonder if thugs own Lagos State, due to their dominance and activities in the state.
