Their voices were not too clear, but it has been alleged that they wanted 'egunje' from the Okada rider who was lifting his hands and saying ''Oga no vex.'
However, another man said to have returned from the US intervened on the Okada man's behalf.
He tackled the police officers for exploiting innocent citizens and asked them to show him the authority that sent them on the duty. They promptly left the place without much resistance.
