Chaos on Ajah Road in Lagos as trailer kills five school children

There's serious pandemonium on Ajah Road in Lagos as you read this. Area boys and passers-by are clashing with policemen after a trailer crushed five students as they were crossing the road. The sad incident happened close to Ikota Primary School and the dead pupils are believed to be making their way to the school when they were killed. The tanker driver abandoned his truck and escaped.

The people protesting are insisting they won't leave the area until Governor Fashola shows up. They are blaming the gruesome accident on the lack of a pedestrian bridge in the area. The two express lanes have been blocked by the angry protesters which has caused heavy traffic in the area. There's heavy police presence in the are. Will keep y'all updated.

    Why do we have people who lack sense living in Nigeria? Causing chaos might lead to more deaths.

      U r mad for ds comment. They shouldn't stop till fashola comes. I drive on that road every morning n night and in a week I see minimum of 1 hit and run. Some1 hit me from behind once I was trying not to hit a pedestrian. I couldn't even blame d old woman who was trying to cross. Really there are no enough pedestrian bridges and d govt makes billions everyday from that road. I would sleep in my car or sleep at work I don't mind as far as d govtment gets d message. RIP to d innocent kids that where lost.

      Panel of judges, if you don't know a thing don't judge. If you live anywhere near ajah, you would know that the road is a death trap for pedestrians. I declined a job I got close to Chevron simply because I can't see myself crossing that wide express every evening. The driver must have fled in confusion and fear. There used to be a traffic warden at that point helping school children cross the road. Whatever happened?

      It's called an express road, so no one is supposed to cross it. Better still go to the nearest bus stop and take a bus to the other side. Its cheaper to do that than what has just happened now. The pedestrian bridge near oniru, I don't see people on it, nigerians believe the bridge isn't meant for them. Abuse me all you want but I just stated a fact

      @ st kizito, your stupidity is very hilarious, what has fashola got to do with dis? Its ok for the people living in that area to want a pedestrian bridge there, but the question is, those so called island big boys and men and women that live on the island, how have they given back to the society, must the governor do everything? Can't they come together and make a difference? Believe me, if they input half of the money they spend on themselves in giving back to the community, we won't be hearing such stories as this. Not to be buying private jets and owning 6 range rovers and 4 bentleys. #just saying

    This accident happens all the time around that area the road is just too wide and this people say everytime this things happens they always listen to the police and go home but its getting too much and they are saying everyone should come to their aid, police came in today and were shooting but they are determined to let this get the governors attention..its so bad the road is completely blocked...God help us

    @anon 7:26 PM,
    You are so right, you are the only one that has made a constructive remark. It is an express road, areas without a footbridge shouldn't be crossed, Even though it might take more time and stress, you have roundabouts, use a BUS.

    Let us try to remove emotions from whats right and wrong.

    In ivory coast and Ghana, you hardly see a foot bridge and hardly also see people crossing the express road.

    RIP to the Kids!

    Hmmm! Sad Story. Just One kid died on the spot. The water tanker driver hit 11 kids on the middle covert as they crossed the first express and were about to cross the express, a traffic warden was there to stop the cars buh as the tanker wanted he swerved to whr d kids were. Yestreday was the schools's interhouse sport and the kid that died was one of d junior sprint runner. 2kids are still in the hospital and let's pray for their recovery. The school has been closed down by the community saying it won't be opened until a pedestrain bridge is constructed for the kids to cross the road. The police were shooting sporadically into the air to stop area boys which was stupid and 3 pple were shot, 2 are dead and one is receiving treatment. The policemen just added to the death toll.

    Pls ask them,will they use the bridge???cos I see lots of bridge especially on ikorodu road and jst few ppl tend to use them..i think nigerians need to b enlightened. Even with the traffic lights,cos pedestrians only seem to cross when the signal is on green for vehicles...I just don't get this ignorance.. Fashola shldnt jst b constructing things,he should create an enlightment programme...Its time to construct the bridge,lets see if accident rates will reduce.. most nigerians like to be forced to adhere to instructions...at ojota,they have to arrest many of them cos the government is trying to save their lives..And pls stop being tribalistic here..The person that started it,is jst a sick fellow..and y wouldn't yoruba's think the person was ibo?its bcos they are d ones who detest yoruba's soo much.Shikenah!
