Can't understand how a bus will move on a track of a moving train
Likely the carelessness of the driver
Was there an NRC personnel with flag to stop cars ?
Souls lost unjustly.
May their souls RIP
that place is a normal crossing point into Ikeja GRA. Just that some drivers are always in a hurry even if they see a train coming from afar. Me I don't try it, because if your car quench for that kain place, na die be dat

no traffic no hold am, he see say the train dey come wan con form van damme with that long bus say make he pass b4 the train go reach there unfortunately the train sandwich them inside the bus and another angle I would blame the govt is this, there is one metal gate that closes or comes down anytime a train is passing within a premises. Those things no dey any train passway anymore I no know if na those iron condemn steal them or they no even put them there because if it was there, this wouldn't have happened. Even the said driver don run but I know say they go catch am except he go just go die somewhere.
my guess was right then, cos whenever that thing is coming, the noise if deafening, dem must find and kill that drive cos na his stupidity kill those ppl

What was the driver thinking?
Was he high on drug, alcohol or something? Was it a Spiritual attack ?
All this question is going on my mind right now...
There is no need for any investigation. It is a sheer waste of time and resources

May GOD console every family affected..
Untimely death can never be our portion 🙏

for crying out loud, no be BRT bus, na Lagos State staff bus. The driver is Lagos State worker. Those who don't know Lagos should always ask questions before commenting.

it will take the grace of God to cure the madness in Lagos. I always pity the government. When they act, the same people come out hard on them with all sorts of criticism and political opponents take advantage of it to deceive the same people.

Nonsense. Both state and federal government should be sued for negligence but I doubt that would ever happen.

You failed to provide all the necessary precautions in place hence , the sad occurrence. There are people on the NRC steady payrolls who are supposed to man those intersection but refused to report there. Lagos State government as a means of protecting her people was supposed to have installed traffic light at those locations.

They think the fast speed train is yam abi? They'd be busy packing fried humans along the track everyday if cafe isn't taken with their negligence by the time the literail commences operation. No sensitization, nothing as we speak. They always want to copy the west but upside down. Over there, their government care about their people by putting those infrastructure in place. But here, the reverse is the case. They'd rather milk their people dry at the slightest opportunity.

The Light Rail trains will NOT come into contact with car traffic…
That’s why all of those OVERPASSES are being built on the Red Line.

This is not the Lagos-Ibadan SGR services that “Amaechi built”, it’s the old narrow gauge NRC rail services…

What concerns a bus with a train track 😕
through Lagos Abeoukuta express or Agege motor road as they call it, there are about four to six rail crossings from Ikeja to Mushin. I cross this particular one daily from work. Unfortunately, non has barricade to close the road when train is passing

The NSIB (which used to be the Air accidents investigation bureau) is a parastatal under the Ministry of Aviation…
Given the new legislation in 2022 that expanded it into the NSIB, I expect it would become an independent MDA in due course.

Did I say it would come in contact in to car traffic? Read my message again and where i faulted them for lack of sensitisation. Lagodians are so stubborn. By the time they scale the barbed fence and attempt to cross the barricaded track to the other side or defecate along the track, you and I won't be there. See all the pedestrian bridges in lagos, some are even nearby yet, they don't climb it.

A peoples oriented government, having known the make up of their people, ought to have commenced on massive sensitisation by now about the literail and dangers inherent in crossing the tracks, just like when they're pasting posters during elections in every nook and cranny of the state but they won't do that, until the unexpected happen.

Mitsurugi:
That bus had no business being in the line of a train. A lot happens in this country due to unaccountability and a lack of responsibility.

If you check, that driver probably got that job due to an unjust party reward system. There are many of them in public service and their arrogance is unbelievable angry
SmartPolician:
How can a train collide with a bus? Truly, there are so many sick people in this country.

In fact, Lagos State has a lot of mad people, but those people don't even know they are mad.

Dude, it’s TRAGIC but is not unique to Lagos (or to Nigeria)…
Sadly, it happens almost EVERYWHERE more times than it should.

RIP to the dead… cry
And SPEEDY RECOVERY to the injured!
