Though why the violent clash ensued is not yet known at the time of filing this report, it was however gathered that the clash is between residents of the area and masquerades.
There was palpable tension on Thursday in the Ijanikin area of Lagos State, as hoodlums invaded the palace of Oloto of Oto Awori Kingdom, Oba Aina Kuyamiku.
It was learnt that part of the problem was an alleged assault of an Awori native by a masquerade participating in the anniversary celebrations.
To protest the assault on the native, hoodlums wielding dane guns, machetes, charms and other dangerous objects, were said to have ordered vehicles to turn back.
Motorists who attempted to resist them were beaten up and their vehicles vandalised, said a driver who witnessed the incident.
