Lagosians are living in palpable fear as policemen, officials of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), and Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) have deserted Lagos roads and neighbourhoods. This is a grave risk if hoodlums still see that with the relaxation of curfew, law enforcement agencies are absent. Reports had it that 40 policemen were injured and a yet-to-be ascertained number killed. Some policemen who confided in The Guardian expressed displeasure over the way they were treated by fellow countrymen. Normalcy has since returned to the Lekki-Ajah area of Lagos, as commuters and residents now ply the road with little or no obstruction.
