A bike man was yesterday, along Kudirat Abiola Way, Oregun, Lagos, crushed by the hip and skull as he tried to dodge the gantry of a signage being erected. The man and his passenger whom he waws taking to church were rushed to the General Hospital Ikeja, where the rider died, as his hip, leg and skull were already fractured.

The advertising agency, ALT MEDIA OUTDOOR AGENCY were installing a signage, without traffic control. The gantry (signage stand) is believed to have slipped off the hook belt whoch was attached to a crane, and fell on the oncoming bike man.

The bike man later died. He is said to have two wives and four children who reside in Sokoto.

Meanwhile, It is believed that ALT MEDIA is owned by Makanjuola Alabi, the MD of the Lagos state signage agency. While some raise the issue of clashing interest, others wonder if they will ever be prosecuted, as both the ad agency and the signage agency are run by one and thesame person. This also raises the question of care and value for human life which is not taken into consideration.

RIP.

Useless Nigeria. But sometimes useful though **

I feel sorry for them.

Too bad, that was carelessness on d part of d advertising agency, d bike man(RIP) shld also not hv gone thru such path.
