An angry mob vandalised a mass transit bus (LAGBUS) belonging to the LAGBUS Assets Management Limited for allegedly crushing a five-year-old girl to death, and injuring another pedestrian.The incident occured at the Otto bus stop, in the Oyingbo area of Lagos State .

PUNCH Metro learnt that the mob, which smashed the side glasses of the BRT and damaged the front windscreen with stones.

It was gathered that at about 12pm on Friday, a woman and the schoolgirl, whose name had yet to be known, were walking on the pedestrian side of the Oyingbo-Otto Road, when the LAGBUS driver hit them.




The five-year-old’s legs were said to have been smashed, while another male pedestrian, said to be an okada (motorcycle) rider, was injured.The girl was reportedly rushed to a nearby hospital where she was confirmed dead.

A police source told PUNCH Metro that the driver fled immediately he heard that the victim died in
the hospital. He added that some of the youths wanted to set the bus ablaze, but were stopped by the police.

He said,

“It was at about 12.30pm on Friday. The woman was the mother of the girl, and they were returning from the school. The LAGBUS hit them at the junction and also hit an okada rider. The police got information that there was commotion in the area, and that some youths might resort to violence, so we moved in and the bus was towed away. The driver is at large.”
At the scene of the accident, PUNCH Metro gathered that the okada rider had hit his head on the ground and bled for a while before he was stabilised by Good Samaritans.

A bus driver, who gave his name only as Wasiu, and claimed to be an eyewitness, said the LAGBUS driver disappeared when he got to know that the girl had died.

“The girl was about five years old. She was being taken home by her mother. We do not know her name. The bus hit them at the pedestrian side. The girl was badly injured. The driver of the LAGBUS initially came down and helped in rushing the girl to a hospital. It was in that process that some youths vandalised the bus. It was when the driver learnt that the girl had died that he fled.
“The other man was bleeding all over. He would have died too, but for the first aid given by the people staying around the scene.”

Rip to the little kid,some drivers are just careless

I opened a thread a while ago about the senseless reckless driving of these Lagbus/BRT drivers.

https://www.nairaland.com/2757257/whats-brt-buses-excessive-speed

Them again. but una to carry am far that no go bring her back now

this is CRITICAL.

It was when the driver learnt that the girl had died that he fled.


Looking at what the driver did, (fleeing), that at that moment was his best option. But, he should have fled to the Police station, reported himself, and automatically hand himself to them.


Nigerians no de use eye see accident occurance. As far as you are the driver whether at fault or not, you are either beaten up or something greater.

RIP to the little one.

If you want to get anything in excess go to Lagos, from jungle justice to criminality.

It's a pity a young nd innocent girl had to go this way..

These BRT drivers believe they re above other road users nd resort to reckless driving because they know the security men nd government will always favour them.

Secondly, some parents nd guardians needs to learn, you don't walk on the pedestrian path exposing the child to the traffic, the child should walk on the inner path while you act as a shield nd u don't walk backing the traffic.

As an adult u will know when u have ventured outside the walk path nd fast to respond to emergency.

RIP to the young angel.

Hmmm

RIP to the dead, the accident has happened but I don't think it is necessary to damage the bus cos at the end if that bus is withdrawn from plying the road it's still those same people that will face transportation problems
