Angry mob on Tuesday burnt down two Commercial
Banks banks along the Wharf area of Apapa, Lagos.
Unconfirmed source has it that
the incident occurred following the killing of a trailer driver allegedly by a
policeman attached to one of the banks.
Witnesses said that the irate
colleagues of the dead driver set fire to the bank where the policeman worked
after the management of the bank refused to release him to them.
The inferno was said to have
spread to a second bank nearby, forcing it as well as other banks in the area
to shut down.
The shooting of the driver
reportedly occurred after an argument over the indiscriminate parking of
trailers in front of the bank.
The Lagos Police Command is said
to have mobilised personnel to the scene of the pandemonium to bring it under
control.
