BRT bus did not kill any soldier – LAGBUS Premium Times Published: July 4,2014 The withdrawal of the luxury buses left thousands of commuters stranded and crippled commercial activities on Ikorodu road. The LAGBUS Asset Management Limited, operators of LAGBUS, on Friday, said contrary to claims by soldiers and reports, it was not a BRT bus that killed a soldier. The death of the soldier drew angst from raging soldiers, who burnt BRT buses said to be worth about N100 million, and beat up the bus drivers and witnesses of their rampage. Explaining the accident, Abiodun Apata, Project Manager, Mutual Model Transports, one of the LAGBUS Franchises, said the company only found a corpse after an eventful night and went to report it to the police. “By 10 p.m. last night, one of our buses broke down at Onipanu; by 11 p.m., a rescue team with a van went to the scene to tow the bus. “Unfortunately, area boys started stoning our team which made our men to leave. Meanwhile, the driver put on hazard lights and C- Caution to alert motorists of the breakdown. “By 5am this morning, before the rescue team got to the scene, a corpse had been deposited in our bus and a motorcycle parked behind it. “When we saw it, we reported the case to the Pedro Police Station, Somolu, but before we got back to the scene, soldiers had burnt down five BRT buses and one belonging to LAGBUS. The Head of Operations of BRT, Johnson Oguntade, said BRT vehicles have been withdrawn from the streets to prevent more damage. He said the deceased soldier was not hit by a BRT vehicle “I do not still understand why we are suffering for what we never caused. Why they are burning our buses is not known,” Mr. Oguntade said. LAGBUS also withdrew its buses from the roads following the burning of the buses by raging soldiers. The buses were attacked by soldiers, who were protesting the death of an army corporal who was allegedly riding a motorbike near the Palmgrove Bus Stop on the Ikorodu Road, Lagos. Mr. Apata said that the attack was unfortunate, adding that the luxury buses were withdrawn to avert more damage. The alleged accident and withdrawal of the luxury buses left thousands of commuters stranded and crippled commercial activities on Ikorodu road. The developments also resulted in traffic gridlock. Some of the vehicles set ablaze had been towed, while the others are still at the scene as at the time of this report.. Commercial bus operators exploited the situation to increase fares by about 50 per cent. No BRT ticket vendors were seen at the vehicles shelters. |

Why was the soldier riding an okada on that road? It's illegal. Why was he on BRT lane, it's illegal. Don't know what time the accident happened but by past 7am, there was no traffic. When I passed, I saw the bike behind the BRT on the BRT lane and just a handful of people had gathered. If this story is true, why did the soldiers pursue the driver into palmgroove estate and then beat up a security man? 10 Likes |

I wonder where they get the drivers for bus in lagos. My visit there was terrifying. Imagine a 50+ year old man who is a driver behaving like a thug if 20 years old! It was so annoying, people you expect to drive responsibly. 6 Likes |

First report: BRT hits a soldier, he died and other soldiers are burning buses Another Report from the Army: our men didn't burn buses, area boys did Yet another Report from LAGBUS: BRT bus didn't hit any soldier, area boys chased us and later a corpse was dropped in our bus I'm waiting for the next versions, like: Version 4: no soldier died, no bus was burnt, area boys fabricated the story and photoshopped the images since area boys must take the blame for their irresponsibility And maybe another version Version 5 (area boys) : we didn't know a bus broke down or hit a soldier or that any was burnt, this is the first time we are hearing this, we weren't involved in any of the events Nigeria my beloved country I hail thee!!! 61 Likes |

if the police really want to investigate the matter, they should just get some of the area boys arrested most especially those ones that operate in the zero hours. case resolved. #lobatan |

What a very useless country, even if the soldier was killed by the BRT as alleged, is it the function of the military to take matters into its own hand?, instead of reporting to the police for proper investigation. Moreover, if there is effective overall CCTV, what actually transpired would have been recorded and case solved. 2 Likes |
