There was palpable pandemonium on Wednesday at Ikeja Along, Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, Lagos, as officials of the Lagos State Task Force and commercial motorcycle riders known as Okada riders clashed during a raid by the agency.
According to eyewitnesses, chaos started after the Okada riders resisted the task force officials from confiscating their motorcycles.
In a trending video, scores of the riders were seen chasing the security operatives while spitting out a stream of expletives as the task force officers retreated to their operational vehicles, which zoomed off immediately.
The riders also set bonfires on the expressway, leading to gridlock.
It is the second day of the fight between the riders and the government officers.
