Hundreds of commuters were left stranded.

The persons believed to be members of the Homeland Study Group Foundation (HSGF) even engaged the police in a shootout, injuring two officers in the process.

One of them died following an exchange of gunfire with police. The group had also attempted to take over the Kpong Hydroelectric dam.
