Okada ban protest: School pupil killed by stray bullet

Okada ban: Protesters burnt tyre on the road

A young school pupil has been killed after being hit by a stray bullet during a clash by police and commercial motorcycle riders popularly known as Okada riders in the Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos.

A section of the media had reported that school owners around the area were calling parents to come and pick their children as the environment became heated up.

However, Sahara Reporters reported that the little girl was killed on Wednesday afternoon after Policemen fired bullets in the crowd while trying to disperse the protest, which has since been hijacked by hoodlums.

Meanwhile, the state government has reiterated its commitment not to reverse the ban, sparking criticisms from far and near.
