Like a scene in a movie, sporadic gunshots rented the air for several minutes in Oshodi as hoodlums battled for supremacy on Thursday. Passers-by had to scamper for safety to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
The mayhem, Newspeakonline learnt, began from Oshodi under bridge where the hoodlums got into disagreement over which faction will collect fees from commercial buses caused the mayhem.

It was gathered that the street urchins also engaged the police in a shootout just as motorists and pedestrians made a detour as the gun fire lasted.
