It was learnt that the Okada riders resolved to this demonstration following the killing of one of their members for non-payment of N50 daily dues enforced by the Motorcycles Riders Association.
An eyewitness, who gave his name as Mohammed Shehu, explained that the deceased okada rider refused to pay the money to the officials of the union and attempted to run away which resulted to the loss of his life.
