According to Duisaf.com:

Despite the warnings of the Governor of Lagos state Gov. Ambode who took up to his twitter handle yesterday to announce and sensitize people about the irrelevance of halting the normal business operation of the state, some areas of Lagos is presently experiencing some form of violence towards submission to the NLC strike.

Rumor has it that Ipaja, some part of Ikeja and other unverified areas of Lagos are experiencing unrest, this is causing some kind of confusion as not every now feel safe to move in this areas, and to go about their normal day activity.

The Governor of Lagos state yesterday said he will make sure forces are made available to ensure smooth running of business activities of the day in all parts of Lagos. With this, fear and panic setting out for work this morning was ruled out. Hopefully something will be done before evening, forces will be put in place for safe arrival of workers back to their various homes. But before the security take full charge, Lagosians should be careful with their movement, as safety is the best.
