There was chaos at the Ijesha bustop along the Mile 2-Apapa expressway in Lagos on Friday after a Petroleum Tanker driver identified as Salisu Sani, was allegedly killed by police and LASTMA officials.

An eye witness, Lanre Neville, said trouble started when the deceased parked his vehicle along the road to say his prayers as a Muslim.

When he was done praying, the police officers from Ijesha police station and the LASTMA officers, asked him why he had to pray on the road. An argument ensued and he was dragged from his truck.

He fell to the ground and a LASTMA vehicle allegedly ran him over, killing him. The police officers and the LASTMA officials allegedly fled the scene of the incident.

Area boys immediately set up burn fire and some of the tanker drivers double crossed the express road with their trucks. The Commandant of the Lagos State Rapid Response Squad, ACP Olatunji Disu, arrived the scene and restored calm to the area.
