There was confusion around the Forte Oil Petrol Station on 21 Road in the FESTAC Town area of Lagos State on Wednesday after officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps shot dead an alleged illegal fuel hawker, while three others sustained gunshot injuries.
Our correspondents gathered that the hawker, identified only as Emeka, was shot dead when the NSCDC men, said to be members of a task force on curbing activities of black marketers, invaded the area around 1pm.
It was learnt that following an altercation between the task force and some fuel sellers, the NSCDC men opened fire on the fuel sellers.
While Emeka was said to have died on the spot, two others, identified as Smart Ogabor and Oladiran Atolagbe, were rushed to a hospital.
