An eyewitness said one person was feared dead and that vehicles and property were being torched.

The operators, it was gathered are protesting the ban on their operation in that axis by the Lagos State Government.

As early as 7 am, some of the Okada operator’s disrupted vehicular movement in that axis by burning used tyres on the road.

Motorists were forced to take one-way but the police in the process of clearing the road met stiff resistance from the Okada operators.

This led to a free for all and the police had to use tear gas to disperse the operators.

Ijora is in Apapa Local Government, one of the LGAs where the state government banned operations of commercial motorcycles and tricycles.

The ban came into effect on Saturday.
