We learned that security officers had arrived at the estate to prevent more property damage.
Mr. Adebisi Adelowo, the Estate Manager, told reporters,
“Over 100 Hausa bike riders stormed our estate a few hours ago.” They attempted to burn down the estate by setting fire to two structures.
“They pulled down our gate and started stoning people’s houses. We couldn’t stop them until the police and the army intervened.
“We later learnt that they attacked our estate because two of their colleagues were knocked to death by a motorist who ran to our estate for safety as he was been chased with big stones and other dangerous weapons.
“The motorist who is not even a resident of our estate ran into the estate because he noticed a police post in front of the estate.”
