Gunshots were fired on Friday when motorcycle riders and police officers clashed in the Oke-Ira area of Ogba, Lagos state.
Residents said the unrest started on Thursday when a police officer allegedly boarded one of the motorcycles on and refused to pay the rider when he got to his destination. This was said to have attracted other riders who insisted that the police officer must pay for the ride.
The situation subsequently escalated into a disagreement and two of the riders were reportedly shot.
The riders were said to have mobilised themselves to the police station in the area on Friday morning to burn the building, but they were repelled.
