Residents of Idi-Oro, Mushin, have accused the of the Lagos State Police Command of invading 14 streets and vandalizing no fewer than 200 vehicles.
However, the police command denied the allegations, saying hoodlums resisting police arrest damaged the vehicles with stones.
But residents who spoke to PUNCH Metro on Thursday alleged that the operatives aside from damaging vehicles parked by the roadsides, also entered into mechanic workshops and destroyed the cars they found there.
At least 40 generators belonging to residents were allegedly taken away by the policemen, whom residents claimed wanted to avenge the death of a police sergeant, Abam Mohammed, who was killed during a shootout with drug dealers.
PUNCH Metro had reported that a drug dealer had taken delivery of hemp valued at N7m on Monday.
On Tuesday, a police team from the Area D Command, acting on intelligence, stormed the community and recovered the hemp.
Hoodlums and some residents allegedly attacked the policemen with broken bottles and stones, as the operatives retreated and returned with reinforcements.
In a shootout that ensued between the two sides, the police sergeant and three others were killed.
On Wednesday, some residents alleged that policemen invaded their streets, looted property and damaged their vehicles.
