Police fired teargas on Thursday at the popular Tejuosho market shopping complex in Yaba, Lagos, to disperse traders protesting a prolonged power outage at the facility.
Many people were seeing scampering for safety as police
officers mobilised to the area shot teargas cannisters at the protesting traders.
A police officer was also sighted firing live bullets as
protesters threw objects to resist the security pushback.
Some traders at the shopping complex accused the management of extortion, alleging insensitivity to the impact of the blackout on their businesses.
They complained that the management has been collecting
monthly service charges and electricity bills without providing power to the
facility.
