Two persons were reportedly killed yesterday while several others
were wounded, when two factions of street urchins clashed at the
notorious Oshodi in Lagos.
Also, shops, business centres, residential
buildings and about 10 vehicles were destroyed in the renewed battle for
supremacy between the groups of hoodlums.
It was gathered that the fight, which erupted about two days ago at
Ayoni bus stop between Orile Oshodi and Mafoluku factions of the street
urchins otherwise called area boys, spread to yesterday. Miscreants from
Orile reportedly launched a reprisal attack against their Mafoluku
counter-parts. Two persons were killed in the process.
The ‘Mafoluku boys’ had earlier attacked the ‘Orile boys’ for coming
to their enclave to extort money from tricycle operators plying their
trade at Mafoluku. The timely intervention of policemen from Makinde and
Akinpelu stations brought the situation under control. The Chief
Medical Director of Our Saviours Hospital, Dr R. B. Aluko, who treated
some of the injured persons, said at a time he and his staff had to run
away for their own safety. He said: “It was a very bad experience. About
5pm yesterday, the miscreants arrived in a Danfo (commercial) bus and
started shooting sporadically, breaking shops and vandalising vehicles.
