Unconfirmed reports on Tuesday had said men of the state taskforce allegedly killed a yet-to-be identified person at Mile 2 area, along Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
This led to protest by some persons, who set up bonfires on the ever busy road.
Hundeyin, while reacting to the incident, had told NAN that the police received conflicting reports about the killing around 1.00 a.m. on Tuesday.
He said the motor boy of the truck was also injured and was receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
“The claims cannot be confirmed yet. Information is still sketchy. The situation has been brought under control.
