Mayhem at Ijebu-Igbo over killing of RTEAN member

There was pandemonium yesterday at Ijebu-Igbo, the headquarters of Ijebu North Local Government Area of Ogun State, following the killing of a member of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) identified simply as Seyi.
Angry residents and transporters thronged the popular Station Road junction as early as 7 a.m where the killing reportedly occurred.

They shut down activities in the area as more people converged on the scene, spilling into adjoining roads.

Early risers and traders who were already on the roads for their daily chores hurriedly retreated as the angry residents and RTEAN members chanted war songs and smashed kiosks and other property.
