Many witnesses told PREMIUM TIMES on Monday that the clash gave some robbers the opportunity to rob traders, customers, and commuters.

This newspaper gathered that the issue between the union workers started around Sunday but when it could not be contained among themselves they took to the streets – the bridge area of Idumota.

The driver, who said he has been plying the route for about 30 years, said usually when fights break out among the union workers, they don’t extend it beyond the bridge area. Mr Sanyaolu said that the fight almost broke out on Tuesday night and they were uncertain about the following day’s work. He said the police came and for some hours they experienced peace but immediately they left, “they started again in the evening.”
