members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers
at the Mosafejo area of Oshodi in Lagos state.
The fracas which reportedly started on Tuesday evening
lasted till Wednesday after the intervention of security
agents who are still keeping watch over the area to avoid
further breakdown of law and order.
The violence also led to the destruction of many property,
including about 27 vehicles, 15 of which were completely
burnt. Several shops located at the Mosafejo motor park
were also razed.
It was gathered that trouble started after the rival gangs of
the union disagreed over an order given to them by the
police to stop the smoking of Indian hemp in the area.
