A disagreement over levies between commercial motorcyclists (popularly known as Okada) and members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers on Monday snowballed into a violence that led to irate youth attempting to force their way into the Lagos State University, Ojo.
A viral video on social media showed angry youth vandalising properties, including vehicles, just outside the university campus as security agencies looked on helplessly.
“When the trouble started, I left my bus and ran away,” said Abdulrasheed Atanda, a driver at a nearby motor park whose bus was vandalsied.
