There was pandemonium at the Owode area of Ikorodu,
Lagos State yesterday, after five persons died in a lagoon, attempting to
escape police arrest.
The death of the deceased sparked off protest among
the youths in the area, who took to the streets, chanting war songs.
The youths who blamed the police for the death of
their friends, yesterday morning, made a beeline for the Owode Police Station
and attempted to set it ablaze. The move was repelled by the police.
It was gathered that at least five persons were
feared dead, while some are still missing after policemen from the Owode Police
Division, Ikorodu area of Lagos State, stormed different black spots on Friday.
It was gathered that the police carried out the
raids after receiving a tip-off about some Indian hemp joints in the area.
