The Lagos-Abeokuta Express
Road blocked this evening by an angry mob over the alleged killing of a Yahoo
Boy by operatives of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SaharaReporters
report.
A commuter currently
stranded on that road told reporters that street urchins set fire on both sides
of the road in protest of the killing of a prominent Yahoo boy around Punch
Estate, Mangoro, by men of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS).
The commuter quoted a
witness of the incident as saying other boys in the area angered by the killing
started the fire on both lanes of the road; and whenever it went down, they
reignited it.
As of 8:15pm, the gridlock
had reached Iyana-Ipaja on the side towards Oshodi and PWD on the side towards
Mangoro.
Police or traffic
management officials had not been sighted at the scene of the fire as of press
time.
