Drivers Beware! Horses On Lekki Epe Expressway by EnigmaticEnigma(m): 10:20am On Oct 20, 2017
There is a dangerous issue of horses crossing the road at night on lekki Epe.

I actually crashed my car once as I tried to avoid a horse crossing the road and ended up hydroplaning, with my car spinning and spinning till I landed in the bush.

I have reported to the police a couple times to do something about those horses, but nothing has been done.

I went out last night and on a portion of the road that was poorly lit, all of a sudden, I spotted another horse crossing the road from right to left. So many cars almost crashed at the same time as we were all swerving to avoid the horse.

Authorities must do something about this. A horses body is brown and blends really well with the darkness. So sometimes, a driver at night can't spot these horses until the car is already so close to it and the driver can then make out the horses brown skin.

Something must be done to save lives, as a head on collision with a large horse is not something anyone would wish for.

Am pretty sure criminals/extortionists are hiding somewhere to lay claims...

Slow down at night & get good lights. If you can't see a horse, what then is the colour of a pothole?

It is not only lighting that is issue, they also run across the road and sometimes the horses are dark too. I almost hit one around oniru estate once.

There have always been horses on lekki express way.

I have witnessed two separate accidents involving two horses on that road.
Pls Get good lights and drive with care.

Also they cross the roads only at night. From 10pm

Instead of facing the matter of the horses on the road causing issues. You're talking about good lights.
You people will always find a problem in people's solution.
The horses are not meant to be on the high way. It's not a barn or a yard.


It's just like a rape case. And you're blaming the woman(the victim)for putting on sexy cloths.

The report should be made at LGA Headquarters or other relevant authorities, not here.
Like someone said, the horses have always been there. I'm only trying to make his driving safer, where did I blame him?
I went out last night and on a portion of the road that was poorly lit...
...and, just like the case you mentioned, one has to ensure one doesn't put oneself in a compromising situation to be absolved of all blame.
