There was chaos in the Agbado area of the Alimosho Local Government Area in Lagos State on Friday morning as two factions of the National Union of Road Transport Workers clashed in the area.
NEWSCASTARS.COM gathered that eyewitnesses told The PUNCH that road users and passersby scampered for safety when the two warring factions violently engaged each other.
Gunshots were also heard as they fought over ticket collection at the parks.
The spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Adekunle Ajisebutu, said policemen have been deployed in the affected areas.
Ajisebutu said, “It was a brewing conflict over ticketing that would have led to a violent confrontation/crisis between two factions of NURTW in Kola Bus Stop area and its environs.
“Police patrol teams from Alakuko, Agbado, Ijaiye- Ojokoro and reinforcements from the headquarters have been deployed to the area on the order of the Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi.
“The place is calm. No threat to lives and property currently as the police are still maintaining their presence in the area.”
