Many residents and passengers are currently stranded in Oshodi, Lagos State, on Thursday morning after Nigerian soldiers took over the area following the death of an officer of the Nigerian Air Force.
The soldiers allegedly stormed the area on Thursday morning, May 20, to avenge the death of an officer of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) who was reportedly mobbed to death by suspected hoodlums.

The situation has compounded the traffic woe in the city as there is currently no movement in and out the part of Oshodi where the rampaging soldiers are.
The soldiers targeting hoodlums are currently marching across the streets, destroying vehicles, especially commercial buses, while some persons were assaulted by the aggrieved security operatives.
Some residents heading to work were trapped in the ensuing violence while students have fled back home. Traders cleaning up their stores on the day of the weekly sanitation also fled just as some transporters abandoned their vehicles.
