By Onyewuchi Ojinnaka

Operatives of the Lagos State Task Force on Environmental Sanitation, on Wednesday, clashed with commercial bus drivers in Abule Egba, an outskirt of Lagos, leaving two people dead

TheNiche gathered that during the clash, a driver and his conductor were allegedly shot and both of them reportedly died from the injury they sustained. Some passengers and passers-by were also reportedly hit by stray bullets.

The situation has temporarily rendered the Abule Egba axis a no-go area as the commercial bus drivers have taken over the main Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, forcing buses to drop their passengers.
