Many residents and passengers are currently stranded in Oshodi, Lagos State, as soldiers have taken over major places in the area.
This comes after the death of an officer of the Nigerian Air Force, who was allegedly mobbed to death by hoodlums.
Many vehicles, especially commercial buses have been destroyed, while some persons were assaulted by the aggrieved security operatives.
Some residents heading to work were trapped in the ensuing violence while students have fled back home.
