There was chaos in a part of Ogun State on Thursday, June 2, 2016, when a policeman allegedly shot dead a commercial motorcycle rider commonly called okada rider.

Trouble reportedly brewed after the late rider refused to give bribe to the cop, who we gathered would also not let go.

The incident, according to our reporter, took place in Ilaro in Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State.
