The aftermath of the brutal clash between some irate Yoruba youths and the Egun community in Otodo Gbame, a slum in the Lekki Phase 1 area of Lagos has led to a protest of aggrieved residents who laid siege on the State house on Tuesday.
The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Idris Ibrahim, said the police couldn’t have avoided killing several of the sect’s members because of the violent approach that was employed during their protest.
A fresh clash between policemen and some protesting Shi’ites in Kano has left as many as nine persons, including women, children and a policeman, dead.
Many have been left to lick their wounds as a result of a brutal clash between some Yoruba and Egun youths in Lekki, which has reportedly left well over 200 structures razed to the ground.
