Police officers and keke drivers, comprising angry youths, are currently engaged in a tragic battle at Meiran/Ile-iwe road, Command bus stop of Lagos state.
According to one of our journalists who was present on the scene during the incident, the brawl began when a particular keke rider refused to pay the police officials a bribe of N50. The disputes escalated into a huge brawl, which resulted in the death of the keke rider.
This inflamed the rage of all the other keke riders and street youths around, who began fighting back against the cops.
