Fight broke
out following argument over sharing of money they had forcefully collected from
landowners popularly known as ‘Owo omonile.’
Two persons
were killed and several others injured during a bloody clash between members of
a vigilante group and social miscreants, otherwise known as area boys, in the
densely populated Ajegunle area of Lagos, Tuesday, April 26, 2016.
It was
alleged that one of the factional leaders identified simply as Ezekiel, a
member of a vigilante group, collected
an undisclosed amount of ‘Owo Omonile’ from a man who was erecting a building in Arumoh Street.
When
confronted by the area boys , Ezekiel refused to part with any sum, a
development that led to a free -for- all between Ezekiel’s loyalists and the
area boys, during which dangerous objects such as cutlasses , axes, broken
bottles and even guns were used.
