The government will address the root cause of this and similar incidents, which have caused public anxiety.
The Government asks residents to remain calm as police continue to investigate the matter.
Lagos has no room for savagery and anybody found to have been involved in this barbarism will surely face the law.
We condemn and will not condone any kind of jungle justice, no matter who the perpetrators are.
David was lynched and burnt to death, allegedly by a group of Hausa men over a misunderstanding that ensued because of N100 balance with a commercial motorcyclist, popularly called Okada rider.
It was learnt that things got heated up and resulted in a fight between David and one of the commercial motorcyclists.
