There was confusion around the Agbado area of the Alimosho Local Government Area in Lagos State, on Friday morning, when two factions of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) clashed in the area.
Gunshots were heard during the conflict over ticket collection at the parks.
It was gathered that road users and passersby scampered for safety when the two factions violently engaged each other.
The spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Adekunle Ajisebutu, confirmed the development, adding that policemen had been deployed in the affected areas.
He said, “It was a brewing conflict over ticketing that would have led to a violent confrontation/crisis between two factions of NURTW in Kola Bus Stop area and its environs.
“Police patrol teams from Alakuko, Agbado, Ijaiye- Ojokoro and reinforcements from the headquarters have been deployed to the area on the order of the Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi.
“The place is calm. No threat to lives and property currently as the police are still maintaining their presence in the area.”
