Police Patrol Lagos BRT Routes After Attacks By Thugs (Videos & Photos)

There was an enforcement operation along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway yesterday. Policemen and Lagos State officials were impounding motorcycle taxis (Okada) that were illegally operating on the expressway and yellow and black commercial buses (danfo) that were operating on the BRT lane.

After the policemen and officials left, okada riders, bus drivers and conductors and area boys began marching towards the Orile Police Station (probably to attack the station). They saw a BRT bus on the way and decided to attack it. They stopped traffic in front of the bus and then attacked it, damaging the bus, robbing the passengers and injuring the bus crew.

The mob was later dispersed by policemen from Orile Police Station who fired teargas at them.
