Description | Members of the Keke-Napep (commercial Tricycle) riders took to the streets in violent protest following what they described as a "deliberate killing" of one of their members, as well as a local trader by police. It is believed the police mistakenly believed the motorcyclist was a suicide bomber. The rioters burnt tires and barricaded roads. Police forces shot their weapons into the air to disperse the crowds. No injuries reported. |
