There was upheaval in the Iyana Iba area of Lagos state as hoodlums engaged in a free for all fight earlier today.
In a viral video obtained by Dockaysworld, men of the police force could be seen standing idly by as the hoodlums traded bottles and cutlass strokes in the heat of the battle.
The police men then stealthily exited the scene as the fight intensified prompting the anger of Nigerians who accused them of being more aggressive to peaceful protesters.
The fighters have been alleged to be members of rival Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) factions in the state.
This is coming on the heels of reports that some enforcers in Lagos have been forcing commercial drivers to buy and use stickers of the APC presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu on their vehicles.
