Scores of commuters were thrown into confusion in the early hours of Thursday as soldiers took over major places in Oshodi, Lagos State.

EKO HOT BLOG gathered that the soldiers stormed the area to avenge the death of an officer of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), who was allegedly mobbed to death by hoodlums.

Many commercial vehicles were destroyed on Thursday while some persons were assaulted by the aggrieved security operatives.

Some residents heading to work were also trapped in the violence while students fled back home.

Traders cleaning up their stores on the day of the weekly sanitation also fled just as some transporters abandoned their vehicles.

Soldiers targeting hoodlums are currently marching across the streets.

According to Daily Trust, the situation has compounded the traffic woe in the cosmopolitan city as there is currently no movement in and out the part of Oshodi where the rampaging soldiers are.
