Gangsters are on the prowl at Cassette Bus Stop, Aguda in the Surulere area of Lagos State, shooting continuously.

In what appeared to be invitation for rival cult fight, business owners have shut their shops to avert looting and stray bullets, which usually characterise such battle.

Residents too were said to have shut their doors while some fled to safer areas.

A source told our correspondent that the hoodlums fired many shots with locally made guns indiscriminately.

“Hoodlums fire several shots from locally made guns at Cassette Bus Stop, Aguda in Surulere preparatory to epic rival clash.

“Business owners have locked up shops abruptly as residents scurry for safety,” a source who did not want to be named to avert attacks, said.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said he would find out and get back to our correspondent.

He said, “I will find out and get back to you.”
