Do you know what aggravated them? Don't just come here and type nonsense. A brt knocked down a seller on that spot about 2 hours ago.

They could have channelled their grievances another way though. The seller that was knocked down was been chased by [size=25pt] KAI OFFICIALS.[/size]

Firstly, may the departed soul rest in peace. When government chased these guys off the road, are they (goverment) going to put foods on their table? I know hawking in the traffic is bad but before u eradicate a system you don't like, there should be an alternative to cater for the eradicated ones. KAI officials are political touts that are offered job because they worked for the party when the need arose. They hawkers whould have face the KAI officials instead of destroying what they use Nigerians money to purchase. The BRT buses are jointly ours.

More Than 20 BRT Buses Damaged By Sellers At Maryland

I just witnessed this right now!
A street haeket was killed after being knocked down by a BRT bus and this led to more than 20 BRT buses being damaged by other hawkers and hoodlums.

Lagos ambulance was swift to arrive the scene but no sign of any security agency right now.

I got a small video but it isn't too clear because I had to run for my own life.

Pictures after the cut

This isn't nice.

The Good news is that there will be a major crackdown on road sellers by the Lagos State Government.

They are illegal anyways.

How many BRT buses de park for one bus stop when 20 go damage at once ? Lies errywhere. Meanwhile BRT drivers are worse than Peace Mass Transit. Even with their own lane, they still can't maintain sanity.

If you know anything about what's going on in Lagos you'd know that the BRT lanes around Maryland to Yaba axis are undergoing some reconstruction so even the BRT buses have to pass the normal lanes that everyone else uses.

The strategy is to still give them a kind of lane so they can follow each other to avoid gridlock.

There was majors traffic jam this afternoon so its not unusual that other BRT buses will "meet" their colleagues that are stuck in traffic.

I was at the scene so be rest assures the numbers are accurate. I counted 20 damages buses but there were more down the road.

I couldn't get there because I don't have extra life.

And yes it's illegal to hawk on a highway or on corner streets not designated for such.

That's not the point. Those guys guys driving BRT have poor and complex mindsets, they believe they can kill or bash cars and get away with it mere because they are driving Lagos State owned Buses. At Bus stops where they are to be mindful of people crossing the road, you will see them speeding up. Lagos state government need to sack all the present drivers and employ new set of drivers with proper orientation and training.

Sorry abt d death of d hawker, but havin a critical luk at d behaviour of hawkers in Lagos, after so much enforcement and restriction. I think hawking should be banned in some areas for safety of live and property with imprisonment of defaulters. Price of transportation for d rest of d year wl definitely increase as cost of damages.

Please learn the facts before spouting nonsense.

KAI officials were chasing a hawker who ran into the path of an incoming BRT bus. The BRT driver cannot be blamed.
