Residents of Obasun link in Aguda, Surulere, Lagos woke up early morning, yesterday, to count their losses following the invasion of their area by a group of street urchins popularly referred to as “Star boys” from Ijesha.
The incident which took place at about 2 a.m left several people seriously injured and about 17 vehicles badly damaged. According to Mr. Yomi Arogbonlo, chairman of New Kpako under Coker/Aguda Local Council Development Area, LCDA, the boys came on a revenge mission.
Yomi informed Vanguard that in December 2012, when the Star boys of Ijesha had their carnival, some boys from Obasun attended the party during which a slight rift ensued between them.
He said the Star boys of Ijesha, after the incident, accused the Obasun boys of intentionally coming to disrupt their carnival and vowed to cut their pound of flesh whenever Obasun boys would host their own carnival.
