The death of three pupils in an auto-crash along the Lekki – Epe expressway in Lagos on Monday morning led to a protest by youths in the area.
Residents nearby as well as touts also known as area boys joined in the protest and blocked the entire expressway, making passage in both directions, impossible.
A traffic gridlock stretching over 10 kilometres built up on the road and trapped thousands of motorists going to work.
Efforts by security agents to clear the road were resisted by the hoodlums and protesters which caused the Police to fire gunshots into the air, to scare away the protesters.
Unconfirmed reports say that there were gun duel between the hoodlums and the police.
