Travellers were stranded this morning on Lagos-Abeokuta
Expressway for almost one hour as Omo onile (land grabbers) and rival
gangs engaged themselves in a shootout around Obada Oko, a sleepy
settlement close to Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.
Traffic in and out of Abeokuta was paralysed. Many passengers disembarked from the vehicles and ran for for dear life.
As at the time of this report, casualties have been recorded, as a corpse of one of the rival gangs was seen by the roadside.
Youths armed with weapons spotting red bands on their heads were seen searching for opponents.
More details shortly!
