The motorcyclists mobilised themselves to A division police station where they attacked policemen on duty.

They broke into the gate and threw stones into the building while policemen and their families fled through the back gate.

Some policemen scaled the fence and ran away while others struggled to take their vehicles away from the barracks.

Bonfires were set in front of the A Division as the Okada riders demanded to see the policeman who shot one of their colleagues dead.

It was gathered that a driver had knocked down and killed one okada rider and a cocoa merchant at Arakale area of Akure.

Both men died on the spot this sparked a protest by okada riders.

A policeman reportedly attached to a filling station in the area was said to have fired shots in the air to scare the protesters away but one of the shot hit and killed an okada rider.
