Thousands of Lagos residents converged on the Idowu Taylor Street, Victoria Island, on Saturday to receive Christmas gifts from the Bola Tinubu Foundation, a non-profit organisation owned by a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. The gifts comprised bags of rice, salt, vegetable oil, T-shirts and cash.
According to PUNCH Metro, the event was not without hitches as policemen and other security agents tried to push back the large crowd that turned up from every local government area in the state. Barricades were broken as beneficiaries caused a stampede.
As the crowd became uncontrollable, policemen fired teargas into the crowd but the crowd remained
adamant and stood their ground.
I can only imagine the necessity that prompted that action. Baba mo dupe temi o. 7c112097
