SAN FRANCISCO, November 18, (THEWILL) –Â Sporadic gunshots rock Aguda, Surulere area of Lagos on Wednesday as business owners quickly closed their shops and fled.
Some streets in the area are deserted as suspected cultists armed with locally made guns stormed Cassette Bus Stop, Aguda, shooting sporadically to announce their presence.
An eyewitness who craved anonymity told THEWILL that he and others were currently hiding somewhere and could see the hoodlums parading the area with guns.
The hoodlums are said to be prepared to engage a rivalry group in intense gun-battle in the area.
“Hoodlums fire several shots from locally made guns at Cassette Bus Stop, Aguda in Surulere preparatory to epic rival clash. Business owners lock-up shops abruptly as residents scamper for safety”, an eyewitness spoke said on phone.
“We saw more than ten of the hoodlums gathering on Willy Omiyi Street, off Cassette bus stop. I also noticed that they kept the locally made guns at open space that supposed to be a car park acquired by a Catholic church in the area.
