Commercial motorcyclists on Tuesday went on the rampage, in Sagamu, Sagamu local government area of Ogun State, protesting the death of one of them.
It was gathered that the deceased motorcyclist, lost his life while attempting to resist arrest by a taskforce put in place by Sagamu Local Government authority after allegedly driving against traffic.
A reliable source told Vanguard that the motorcycle rider fell and hit his head on the ground and died instantly.
The development threw the entire town into confusion, as motorcycle riders in their numbers protested against the action of the taskforce.
