“Something urgent must be done by Governor Sanwo-Olu to arrest this situation before it gets out of hand,” Victor Opara, who lives in Iyana-Iba, told Platforms Africa.
Calling on the King of Iba and other well meaning Lagosians to also intervene, Adeola Opeifa, who said she witnessed some of the fracas, stressed that the fracas would soon result into killings if nothing is done urgently.
“With the way things are going, don’t be surprised if you hear that someone has been killed,” she said
A LASTMA officer who craved anonymity based on threat full dislosure of her identity would cause, said in a chat with Platforms Africa; “They now attack us on Iyaba-Iba, Ojo and other roads, we are forced not to dress to work in uniforms over fear of attacks.”
