Residents of Lagos State’s Mile 2 neighbourhood, on Tuesday morning, blocked the road, causing chaos and obstructing traffic.
An 18-second video posted by @Gidi_Traffic on X (previously Twitter) showed that citizens were blocking Mile 2 by burning tyres on the road. The video also included a voice telling commuters to avoid the area.
In response to the viral video, the Lagos State Command spokesperson for the Nigerian Police, Benjamin Hundeyin, said a patrol team has mobilized to the area with a view to bringing the situation back to normal.
“That claim cannot be confirmed yet. Information still needs to be more sketchy.
“However, I can confirm that police patrol teams have arrived at the scene, obstacles are cleared, and the free traffic flow is reopening.”
