mob has
reportedly set two banks in Apapa, Lagos on fire after a policeman attached to
Diamond Bank on Burma Road allegedly shot
dead some trailer drivers.
According to
reports, the mob also set a Sterling Bank branch on Wharf Road ablaze.
It was
gathered that the trailer drivers had indiscriminately parked in front of the
bank.
Angered by
the killing and the bank’s refusal to hand over the policeman to them, the
driver’s colleagues moved to set the bank ablaze, destroying properties and
other valuables.
Policemen
from Rapid Response Squad, anti-riot squad and Area B command, as well as
operatives from the Nigerian Navy Ship BEECEOFT have been deployed to the scene
of the incident.
