Pandemonium broke out in Lagos early Monday morning, as the Okada and Keke NAPEP riders trooped out in protest against the government policy banning their operation in some parts of Lagos State.

The protesters, in their large number blocked the expressway and burnt tyres on the road. The police, in a bid to stop the protest led to the riot.
In the melee, the two of the protesting riders were said to have been hit by bullets as police attempted to douse the tension and disperse the protesters.
