After scheduling an appointmentnt with a friend at Bogije(Lekki-Epe) expressway, I set out at about 6:00am from Ikeja axis. Shortly after climbing to connect Oshodi-Oworodonki express from the Agege motor road, I observed two boys standing by the roadside, in the early morning rain under an umbrella.


With the ongoing road maintenance along the axis in addition to the heavy rain, we were driving at a slow speed with some vehicles in our front trying to maneuver in the pools of water filled in potholes. Suddenly, the two boys started approaching my car, being familiar with the axis, I knew trouble was on the horizon. In an instant, one was already knocking on the passenger window where my wife was sitting. The other was approaching my side.

The two were frantically knocking and urging us to wind down. I was driving behind a private LT bus, luckily for us, there was a small opening to overtake the bus which was slowly going behind some vehicle. I quickly step on the gas pedal overlooking the many potholes filled with water. They only succeeded in landing a few punches on my car as I leave them in my wake.

The Lagos state government needs to step up security on that portion of the road. Many people have fallen victim to arm robbery there. Better still, a thorough and constant raid should be carried out in and around Oshodi through Cappa bus stop.

It will not be out of order to round up all these "almajiris" and take them to their various states and homes. Many have migrated from Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, etc, with no meaningful work aside stealing and robbing people of their valuables.

This is yet another clarion call on the government to wake up and do something. We escaped today but another person may not be that lucky.

Not at all. I am well aware of that area and nothing was out. Mostly their target is private cars with two or less persons inside

Children of failed parental upbringings and bad government. Op you are lucky, normally they do break car windows and part with anything their hand can reach especially bags.

It is only when it happens to their children that they will fix that road

The police is aware but are still waiting for the full act to committed,when you tell the danger,they tell you there is no evidence.. Instead of them to sanitized that area they will continue to polluted it..
