The shooting comes shortly after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced an extension on the curfew time he had earlier imposed from 4pm to 9pm.
Many residents had lamented that the time was inadequate to get home safely considering traffic in the state.
It is not known if there were casualties at the time of this report.
