An irate mob has reportedly set Sterling Bank and Diamond
Bank branches in Apapa, Lagos state on fire.
This happened after a mobile policeman attached to the bank
shot a tanker driver dead.
Banks in Apapa are shutting down and evacuating their
personnel following the incident by protesting tanker drivers.
Below is what an eyewitness sent to DAILY POST: “Good
afternoon, kindly be informed of a riot situation currently at Creek Road,
Apapa. A Mobile police officer shot a trailer driver in front of Diamond Bank
after an argument to stop blocking the road.
“The trailer drivers in a reprisal attack have set both
Diamond and Sterling Bank on Creek Road on Fire after the police officer ran to
Sterling Bank to escape being lynched. Staffs of Creek Road branch are safe and
in the Branch. The policemen are still trying to bring the situation under
control. Please avoid this route if you are around Apapa.”
