Youths at Jakande Estate, Isolo, have set ablaze over twenty okada after a fatal accident kill one person.
According to an eyewitness, the incident occurred after a rider plying a one-way route reportedly knocked down a pedestrian who died immediately.
In retaliation, youths in the area hijacked okada in sight and set them on fire.
While reacting to the incident, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin says the Divisional Police Officer in the area Folorunsho Gabriel responded to the emergency immediately, rescuing the suspect from the mob attack and evacuating the corpse from the scene.
According to him, the before the Police arrived back at the scene, a mob was already burning the okadas left behind by the fleeing riders.
He said the Command condemns jungle justice in very strong terms, saying anyone found engaging in such would be dealt with in accordance with the law.
Normalcy has returned to the area as security operatives are on the ground to forestall further mob action.
