A mob has reportedly set ablaze buildings of two banks – Sterling and Diamond – located in Apapa, Lagos, after a policeman attached to one of the banks allegedly shot dead three tanker drivers.

An eyewitness, Omega Male, confirmed the incident which happened on Wednesday via his Twitter handle.

The unidentified policeman was said to have objected to the parking of a tanker in front of the bank, after which a brawl ensued between him and the driver.

He reportedly shot the driver dead while two other drivers who tried to intervene were also said to have been killed by the policeman.

Angered by the incident, the mob, most of which were said to be the drivers’ colleagues, reportedly set the bank on fire and the nearby Sterling Bank building.

Sarumi Ridwon, another Twitter user, also tweeted the development.

Another eyewitness told PM news that other banks in the area, especially those on Warehouse Road, have closed down for business to avoid any attack from the mob.

Security operatives, including anti-riot policemen, have been deployed to the area to quell the crisis.

    The French revolution started when a carriage carrying wine got involved in an accident, and the mob took advantage of the accident to drink from the leaking wine barrels. The wine belonged to some lords and it was a period of hardship for the masses. The servants of the lords began to flog the masses. Angered by the floggings, the masses fought back. To cut a long tori short, hence began the French revolution! Olorun maje ari!

    Talk about misplaced aggression. Why take it out on the bank buildings? But also, how can this policeman shoot three unarmed people and why did these three unarmed people attack armed policeman on duty? Is it not always known routine that no cars are allowed to park in front of bank premises in Nigeria. That have always been the norm dating back decades. When asked not to park his truck there, he should have simply obeyed. If it was impossible, he should have pleaded for time to make it right. Temperament!! Temperament!! many have gone, many are still going. Impunity with the Nigerian Police Force it appears have no cure.
