Three scavengers were killed in Ijegun, a Lagos suburb by persons described as Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) members.Ten others are said to be critically ill in hospital after being shot.
In Mushin, a bus conductor was hit by bullet during a gang war between Alamutu and Idi-Oro boys.
The Ijegun killings sparked a riot as other scavengers gathered to fight OPC members who were allegedly demanding money from them for operating in the area.
Their refusal to yield to the demand was said to have led to the killings.
