Agric Bus Stop to Volka was most dangerous before. But ever since GOD had put it in the heart of soldiers to lie in wait for the notorious gang there some years ago, only once after about 9 years now have I heard of re-occurrence there. Because before, from 7:30pm, everybody starts running without seeing what's chasing them.

The Nigerian Police Force has advised all residents and visitors to Lagos be wary of these locations to avoid falling victims to violent crimes.

I dont reside in Lagos so i dont even know most of these places. However for the residents in Lagos, please contribute by listing out the areas that are mostly and less prone to robbery attack and possibly safe alternative routes one can take to his destination.

1. Estate bus stop at Ketu-Alapere: Attacks are
carried-out both day and night

Expressway): Criminals attack victims with guns
on the long bridge and in traffic jams

3. First Gate junction - Agidingbi: Robbery point

4. Boundary bus stop in Ajegunle: Popularly
referred to as the 'one million boys' gang territory
where criminals attack passengers in vehicles

5. Ijora bus stop: Notorious spot for gang-rape;
abduction in buses (popularly known as 'one
chance',

6. Mile 2 Oke: Hammers, knives, guns are used
to rob motorists in traffic jam

7. Church bus stop - Agboju Mile 2 (Badagry
expressway): Haven for street urchins

8. Agric bus stop - Mile 2: Notorious area for
buried arms that are used for robbery operations in the area

9. Abulosu bus stop along Mile 2 - Badagry
expressway: Drivers conspire with thugs to attack
victims

10. Apongbon bus stop: Hotbed of 'one-chance'
bus attacks

11. School bus stop, along Mba - Mile 2 road in
Ajegunle: Use of jack-knives and other weapons on
victims

12. Bamboo area along Oworonsoki - Ibadan
Expressway: a dangerous spot about 100 meters
from Alapere Housing Estate Bus stop

Please try as much as possible to avoid all the
bus stops listed above when you can. If you find
yourself around any of these bus stops, ensure the
following:

* If you are a passenger or driving your own
vehicle, stay alert and do not display priced
possessions - mobile phones and devices; jewelry;
cash.

* Wind-up your windows and remain alert
when driving.

* Drive faster in these areas but please
consider your safety and the safety of other road-
users by keeping to speed limits.

Safe driving to everyone in Lagos (both visitors anr residents).

Berger Suya busstop at Wilmer is another bad spot not to be at nite.

Iyana-Ipaja busstop along Abeokuta Express way,another violence prone area.
Re: Dangerous Bus-stops In Lagos by Cholison(m): 5:42am On Nov 03, 2014
Since the police knows the point they should police them properly, that is why they should withdraw their personnel from politicians and use them for the generality of the masses.

@Op, where did u ghet this info from? Was this thread created if yes, Op must be on the influence of something. U will just sit in ur father's living room with a Techno fone to type the imagination of ur hrt. And the Mod will sharply bring it to front page.

Yes Lag was that bad at a time, not now again. Pls stop scaring pple away from Lag. The things u mentioned about these bustops are all lies, except that Agboju axis to Volks and soon those things u mentioned wuld stop around those axis.

Those bustops are not as bad as u dey portray for here abeg.

Barely 5 weeks ago, I witnessed a robbery on 3rd mainland traffic .. The guy was posing as a hawker.. he succeeded in taking a bag out of the car before fleeing.

Lagos mainland is still bad o. Don't test those niggas in traffic. That's why I stay other my windows up in traffic.

While I commend this, it'd be good for the Nigerian police ti also tell us what they are doing yo make these places less violent. There's a reason we have a police force.

The tales from that mile 2 is not funny one bit, especially early in the morning.

Dont mind these SHAMELESS POLICE FARCE!

They are able to tell us where "dangerous armed robbers" are .......but are not able to apprehend them?

This begs the question: is it that they are incapable of performing their role in the society (in which case they should be disbanded and other agencies ready to do the job, be empowered)....

Or is it that they themselves are the ones responsible or at the least encouraging these criminals and their activities?

*We have heard true stories and witnessed where Police "loan" guns and bullets to armed robbers.
*We have seen (at Okota) where Policemen from Lekki came to rob homes at Okota only to suddenly show their I.D and call it "secret operation" when occupants brought out their own guns and during exchange of gunfire, the "armed robbers" were overpowered .... and they turned to be "Police men"!
*We have seen over and over where Policemen shoot and kill unarmed civilians when they forcefully demand money from them and the 'egunje' is not forthcoming!
*We have seen Policemen murder young people randomly, when picked up for "wondering", ....right in front of their house!

Policemen have done EXACTLY the same things that armed robbers, thugs, street urchins are noted for...


So, IS THE NIGERIAN POLICEMAN AN "OFFICIAL EQUIVALENT" OF THE ARMED ROBBERS?

At least we dont have to pay salary and buy weapons for the armed robbers, they work 'hard' for their loot...

Seriously theft and robbery have drastically reduced in Lagos.

The first phone that was stolen from me actually happened at OBALENDE. When it comes to pickpocketing give it to that area of Lagos. I was coming from second Avenue, Ikoyi with my earpiece in my ear. I felt light after entering a bus and the sound stopped all of a sudden.

Op should have added OSHODI. Few days ago, I heard a bus driver shouting "hey file! O gbodo mu". The guy just left d lady side and walked away. I later realized that the driver sighted the guy afar, walking side by side with a lady in order to remove things from her bag. Oshodi is crazy though not like before.

Anything can happen at any bustop in Lagos. Not just Bustop; anywhere. I also think that the op is raising an alarm and attributing it to the police. No. 7 is 90% wrong; unless it happens when i'm asleep

Now to d 2nd one,last Dec on my way frm work then wile still workin at lekki,I stopped at costain to board bus to kilo.somany crowd der n was getn dark.Kilo bus cam&we started draggin,next a guy said dey hav opened my bag,lo n behold dey removd dis guy's laptop frm his backpack,I weak!
