In what it seems to be a reprisal attack following the killing of protesters at the Lekki Toll gate by Security operatives, armed thugs on Friday stormed the famous Computer village at Ikeja in other to loot properties in the vicinity.
But their move was foiled by Soldiers and Police officers as shootout erupted from both side.
Heavy gunshots could be heard as individuals scampered to safety, People were locked in their houses as hoodlums hold sway.
After the shootout truncated and the hoodlums made away, members of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, were seen with machetes patrolling the village to ensure that the repelled hoodlums did not return.
The hoodlums had also attempted to break into the Ikeja City Mall on Thursday to loot properties but the police repelled them and are keeping vigil at the mall.
