Crisis In Ikota As Trailer Crushes Four Pupils To Death

There is serious crisis in Ikota area of Lagos as touts, otherwise known as area boys, are clashing with policemen. Trouble started after a trailer crushed four pupils on their way to school.

A large crowd gathered at the scene of the incident and vowed not to leave the scene until Governor Fashola personally attends to them.

Even the presence of a Local Government Chairman could not disperse the crowd, as they lamented the absence of a pedestrian bridge on the Lekki Epe Expressway for the cause of this accident.


















*The government of Lagos state needs to, as a matter of urgency erect some pedestrian bridges on the ever busy Lekki Epe Expressway. The cars do not stop, as they speed on the express and woe betide any pedestrian who mistimes and misjudges the speed of an oncoming vehicle. Several people are crushed on this expressway during the night. Such a shame that the main aim is to make money by tolling users of this road instead of protecting pedestrians*
