Some Commercial Motorcyclists and and Police officers clash on Wednesday at Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos.
The policemen were firing at the hoodlums, who retaliated with stones and other dangerous weapons.
It was gathered the clash was not unrelated to the ban on Okada from highways in some parts of Lagos.
Some of the hoodlums have been arrested with passers-by subjected to routine security checks.
I'm hiding somewhere, they've blocked the exits too. The gunshots are increasing, I don't know if it's the police or thugs. It's a commotion out here
