There was an enforcement operation along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway yesterday. Policemen and Lagos State officials were impounding motorcycle taxis (Okada) that were illegally operating on the expressway and yellow and black commercial buses (danfo) that were operating on the BRT lane.

After the policemen and officials left, okada riders, bus drivers and conductors and area boys began marching towards the Orile Police Station (probably to attack the station). They saw a BRT bus on the way and decided to attack it. They stopped traffic in front of the bus and then attacked it, damaging the bus, robbing the engers and injuring the bus crew.

The mob was later dispersed by policemen from Orile Police Station who fired teargas at them.

Video of the aftermath of attack on the bus.

UPDATE: Lagos State TaskForce led by CSP Tayo Akerele has deployed security officers on BRT routes across the State starting from the Alaba Suru area where a BRT was attacked by some suspected hoodlums recently.

The area boys, bus drivers, agberos and okada riders are fighting back cuz of their intending displacement due to modernisation of the city transportation system.
Same way oil mafias are fighting back due to the fear of being displaced by Dangote and other refineries.
But, unfortunately to those fighting back against the socioeconomic development of Nigeria, they will all fail.

These were the same people deployed to disrupt the peaceful protest at the lekki toll gate on October 20,2020 and later went to Oba Akiolu's palace and stole his dollars he kept inside coffin. As if that wasn't enough, they went and set BRT buses ablaze and same politicians and their gullible ers said they were IPOBS who came from Anambra. Tribalism won't move this country forward. I'm happy grandpa Onanuga isn't saying Obidients are those behind the recent protests anymore

cool dogs bite it's owner.
Agberos are Lagos state children,
They behave as if they are above the law.
Infact they are senior citizens in Lagos.

Dogs bite it's owner.

And you forgot to tell us what you told him first or what the Northern brothers told you as well ....

What's the connection between this two paragraphs of yours??

Agbero is now a law enforcement agency that fights for ba tribe?
