Lagos cyclists rescue unconscious ACN politicians from car

Six ward chairmen of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) were, on Friday, saved from possible death by a group of Okada drivers and residents in the Gbagada area of Lagos. The men were discovered unconscious and foaming from the mouth inside a vehicle along Deeper Life Road of the Lagos suburb.



The crowd, which intercepted the Sienna wagon car, forced the driver into the premises of the Ifako police division, Gbagada where the quick intervention of medical officials at a nearby clinic helped to revive the men. Some of the men threw up when they regained consciousness, leading to speculation that they may have been poisoned.
The politicians, who claimed to be coming from an aborted meeting with a leader of the party named Oris at his hotel in Ibafo, Ogun State said they could not explain when they lost consciousness and how they got to the police station.

Of the car's occupants, only the driver (also a local party leader), appeared unaffected as he drove the men from Ibafo to Lagos, until the lucky intervention of the crowd. The driver is now in detention and is believed to be helping the police with their enquiries. Motorcyclists said they chanced on the men after the driver, whom they accused of reckless driving, almost overran one of them. They chased and forced him to stop.

  6. my question is this: are they (the cyclists) going to be giving rewards (money) for helping save them...but then knowing our 'beloved' politicians in Naija i doubt it. Anywz hope they get well and the driver spills the beans of the political coup or money sacrifice(i am suspecting and yes i watch too many naija movies)..lol.

    By the way i love your blog linda.

  7. @ anonymous 09:17pm why should the cyclist be rewarded for saving lives? isnt that the right thing to do? I dont think they should be compensated for that o, because I want to belive that we Nigerians are about saving lives first no matter the reward or consequence. Yes I hope they get the recongnition but thats it.

  11. Thank God they aint dead, a man in my church that was meant to be at dat meeting with them and didn't make it there cos he suddenly fell asleep while dressing up to go there actually gave the testimony in church yesterday that everyone that attended the meeting were all poisoned. Don't know why pple like to kill demselves in this country. POLITICS SHOULDN'T BE A DO OR DIE

  12. Umm. So they definitely got poisoned, and the driver was instructed to go and dump their bodies somewhere! Thank goodness he got caught! These are probaly the fathers of young kids.. It would have been sad to lose multiple lives like that! BRAVO to the true heros, the cyclists and the masses for chasing after the driver and forcing him to stop. KUDOS!
