COMMUTERS at the Ojodu/Berger terminal of LAGBUS, on Friday, took to their heels in panic after a bus which had just been driven into the station suddenly burst into flames.

A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos said that the commuters fled in different directions when flames erupted under the front wheels of the bus with registration no: XP 962 AKD.

The driver, simply identified as Amuda, and other officials of the LAGBUS Asset Management Company, operators of the buses, however, were able to promptly bring the fire under control.
A commuter, Mr Oyewole Kayode, told NAN that somce friction on the brake linings might have caused the fire.

Kayode, who claimed to be a technician, lauded the officials for being able to put out the fire without any causality.
He described the situation as unfortunate, but added that it could have happened to anyone.
Some other commuters, however, urged the company to increase the number of buses on its fleet to avoid long waits by passengers at the Berger – CMS/Lagos terminal.

A senior official of LAGBUS, who refused to identify himself, however, declined to comment on the issue.

“Madam, there is no problem,” he said.

Haba! Media sha! I was there. It didn't burst into flames. It was extinguished before any damage was done and it was just the side of the right tyres in the front.

Imagine this happened when the bus was on motion & was fully loaded with passengers.

It's an end time sign.

I don't support the closure of all markets in Lagos in honour of the birthday of Oba Akiolu.
It's an abuse to the rights of the traders & their customers.
Forget about age long traditions.
Some things just don't need to happen.

your attempt at sarcasm, is extremely succour with gravitate and tremendous alacrity.
