Tragedy struck again Sunday afternoon at Awoyaya bus stop in Ajah area of Lagos state as a BRT bus crushed a commercial motorcyclist, popularly called
okada to death.
Eye witness told News Bytes that the okada rider was fleeing from men of the Nigerian Police Force who were chasing him.
The death of the okada rider led to an angry mob burning the patrol van of the police leading to a counter-action from the security operatives.
This is coming barely two days after soldiers torched at least four BRT buses on Ikorodu Expressway in protest of the killing of one of their colleagues by a BRT bus driver at Onipanu bus stop, Lagos.
The ever-busy Epe express way is said to be at a standstill as at press time.
An Okada rider and his 2 male passengers were crushed to death this afternoon at Awoyaya bus-stop along the Lekki-Epe Express way in Lagos as they were being chased by a police van.
While trying to escape from the police who were chasing them to seize their bike for riding on the express, the Okada, which was in high speed, collided with a BRT bus that crushed them to death.
According to an eye-witness, area boys gathered and burnt the police van. The army had to be brought in to calm the situation. See photos from the incident after the cut.. *warning - graphic content*
