Sequel to the shooting of unarmed protesters in Lagos Tuesday night at Lekki Tollgate by soldiers, chaos have erupted across the city with police divisions, a bus station, Nigeria Port Authority and a television house going up in flames.

Also, disturbing footages, albeit unconfirmed, showed a house purportedly belonging to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s mother being set ablaze by irate youths.

Unconfirmed reports on social media show that irate mob set ablaze Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu mother’s house, BRT buses, TVC, NPA Headquarters Marina, and Lagos City Mall on Wednesday morning.

TV Continental (TVC) is believed to be owned by the national leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
