Hoodlums are currently on the rampage in Lagos Island. According to Benjamin Hundeyin, the state Police Spokesperson, the market association had instructed its members not to open for business on Sunday and Monday.
He claimed that the hoodlums were on the streets only to enforce the order as Igbo traders defied the instruction.
The twitter community however, tackled the police PRO insisting he is partisan by singling out only the Igbos when many other tribes conduct businesses in the market.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin said: This is fake news. The market association agreed that shops would remain closed yesterday and today. Igbo traders this morning decided to renege on the agreement and open shops. Some hoodlums took it upon themselves to enforce compliance. The police was alerted.
“The police arrived promptly. The hoodlums fled upon sighting police patrol vans. Not one shop was vandalized. Not one person was robbed. Not one person was injured. Normalcy was swiftly returned and officers remain on ground. Go and verify! SHUN FAKE NEWS!“

jude_ukaigwe: “What do you mean by Igbo traders? Are the Igbos the only traders in Lagos? What do you mean by hoodlums too it upon themselves to enforce compliance? Listen Mr SP, when this violence goes full blown anarchy, even the police will not be spared.”
AkpÃ¥räwaä Nsykak @_nsykak: “You’re quick to confirm that only “Igbo traders” opened shops today…but all the reported police complicity in the wanton desruption of elections at several locations across Lagos by hoodlums in Saturday’s elections didn’t come to your knowledge or cross your TL. Weldon!”
@korieudochi: “The Lagos State Governor should have gone on Air to call the hoodlums unsettling the peace of Lagos Island market. But his silence speaks volumes and makes him an accomplice in the entire saga. Anyway,his days as his Excellency are NUMBERED.!!”
@_KingLarry__: “If he (Tinubu) had won in Lagos, that would have been proof he actually sent those hoodlums, that would have been proof he incited violence on election day for his own benefit. He played politics, no one was expecting him to lose in Lagos, and he let go of Lagos intentionally.”
