An Okada rider and his 2 male passengers were crushed to death this afternoon at Awoyaya bus-stop along the Lekki-Epe Express way in Lagos as they were being chased by a police van.
While trying to escape from the police who were chasing them to seize their bike for riding on the express, the Okada, which was in high speed, collided with a BRT bus that crushed them to death.
According to an eye-witness, area boys gathered and burnt the police van. The army had to be brought in to calm the situation. See photos from the incident after the cut.. *warning - graphic content*

In space of how many days so much bad news from Lagos state.. May their souls rest in peace. !!!
this is just sad
what a loss!...may their soul rest in peace..umm;..well;ain't surprised though..that's what a nation gets when you recruit o' level result holders and inexperienced personels as security operatives..the police van should have known beta how unsafe it is to make such a chase..they ain't even security wise and conscious cos if they were;they would have found a beta alternative than chasing and exposing the lives of those young men to danger....my opinion.tnx........#positivity
Police, police, may their soul rest in peace #bright bravo#
Oh dear! God have mercy. Sad news. Chioma_kairo@yhoo.com

Linda Linda Linda, again I was an eye witness, yes police chased them, but they ran to their death, haba Linda, I thought its illegal to ride okada on express in lagos, not to talk of taking morethan one person on d okada, I thought police chase traffic law breakers all over the world? Why does it now seem wrong for the Nigerian police to do same? Linda step the hatred down a little please, weather you like it or not you still need them for you to move freely in lagos. Approve or disapprove my comment, its a message for you not your readers,
JezzZzz!!! What is happening in dis country!!
Oh ♏Ɣ God. I Just confirmed it.

Na Fashola day cause all this nonsense.
OMG! May God continue to protect us o! This is sad.
How can this level of impunity be allowed in a nation as big as Nigeria. When bunch of school drop-out are thos in our forces what do you expect. This is sad and its high time WE stand as one regardless of religion and tribe to say NO. How long are we going to continue like this. Remember no one knows who is nest, it could be me or you.... Please stand and be counted as we begin a change revolution..... Follow me @otomisin7 on twitter pls...
My God have mercy
Policemen no serious at all just becouse they want to seize they machine and asked them of money why all the chase.. The moob need burn dem togeda wit their hilux
Very pathetic! Police is ur friend.
SAD... RIP But this on those arrogant stupid fools called the NPF and Gov. BRF this is also on you, when you banned bikes does it give the opportunity for the police to kill citizens? Is the punishment for riding a bike DEATH? We KNOW the Police(most of them) would do anything to arrest bikes even to kill and maim. HELLOOO: The reason you banned bikes(to prevent accidents on the express) would continue cos of trigger happy rouges/cops. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF LAGOS. SMH. PETEROLU
may they rip.. patoswife@gmail.com

Linda, respect the dead. If it were your family member would you want their pictures splashed everywhere? But because these people are poor and nameless they don't deserve respect? Typical Nigerian mentality.

A very pointless death for those pple, dey know it's wrong to enter or ride bike at xpress

Hehe the rate at which police chase after these bikes is just too much, d bike riders go against the law fine but these policemen should be more careful about chasing after them!
Adiok Ono police & their #20.... Shebi dem don waste innocent soul.
Oh my God!!!
Hmmm! Just like dat. Pple take unnecessary risk sha. Rip! Just sayin...D Curious1
While condenming what happened, is hightime Nigerians learnt how to rescue accident victims first instead of dissipating energy trying to punish/kill the person that was driving the vehicle that knocked down the victim(s)
Imagine, if everybody had put their effort in saving those victims maybe they would have survived. It's also because of this our attitude that make people first run away in the event of knocking somebody down instead of stopping to help carry the victim to the hospital.
We should realise that no matter how bad we feel, accident is accident, hence that word "accident" Our first reaction always should be to save and not to take laws into our hands.
may God help us in did country.
may God help us in dis country.
Crushed to death? Between what and what?
this is so sad...may their soul rest in perfect peace...this police and their menace is really eating deep into Nigeria...with this rate those who were entrusted with the responsibility of protecting our lives wld probably be the ones to take it as it is evident in this case...wat a country???
I actually witnessed dis sad incident, it was rainin nd 9ja police won't let poor okada rider be...may deir soul RIP..

RIP to the departed souls!

Jesus, this is sad
Woners shall never end. How many ppl will our Nigerian police kill because of chicken change. If they meet armed robbers, they won't have the morale of chasing them to death. This is really absurd.
But dey shuld hv stopped na #sadface

Ah too bad
tjodeleye@yahoo.con
lord have mercy. may their souls rest in peace.
What is all these. Chasing the bike to take over the bike and sell to others. Things are really bad with our systems.
Sorry to say but these things happen all over the world just as much as anywhere else. Thank technology for bringing every story to your TV or mobile device. Secondly, Lagos has more people than most countries have in Africa so what do you expect when so many people are jammed in one place? Aside from Boko Haram the hysteria these days is not necessary.
NO, Nigeria needs a revolution. Keep waiting for God and you'll be waiting for eternity.
Linda did you write that the army had to be brought in to calm the situation? Same army that was alleged to have similarly burnt down BRT buses? What an irony? hehehe Dia ris God of real justiceooooo!!!
I thank God for my life oo, they chased me too, last year Dec from Presbyterian Church, Yaba to University road,Akoka....I was begging them on top bike wit my Bible and my hands up, I was crying. It was a terrible experience. 23th Dec 2012...it was GRACE alone. RIP to d dead.
JenniPukka
Now they ended up seizing their lives.....police sha
Nw they ended up seizing their lives
And when the govt says this is the law, we as citizens shld obey. If d biker had not broken two laws at same time, he wld be alive today. We all knw how the police behave, so the beat thing is to avoid them and their wahala untill one day the Fed. govt will see the importance of properly training the police. It's just like struggling with danfo on the road, we all know what will happen to your car.
brilliant words from @alicia u spoke well n RIP to dose involved
Its amazing how stupid some of these comments are, the okadaman was doing the wrong thing and the police were trying to do their job and we have pple here blaming the police? dont you all watch high speed chases of traffic offenders in other countries? the police dont do their jobs you complain, they do their jobs you still complain. idiots you all who are blaming the policemen.
Everyone is calling the police. But the truth is that the police didn't push them to crash. They took that risk fully aware of the dangers. He should have stopped and get arrested than risk his life to get away.
Government (Fashola) made a law and the police were tasked to enforce that Law. Even abroad the police do chase offenders (traffic law offenders, drunk drivers, thieves etc) and sometimes the offenders crash. (watch police chase videos) Only that abroad, when such pursuit is being made, they warn other road users ahead. If they didn't chase that guy, he will repeat it again and Fashola will say the police is not doing its work.
BUT the irony here is that i can bet you the ploice was not motivated to enforce the law but rather the money they will collect from that bike man when he comes to bail himself and the bike.
The guy should have stopped and face the music of police. But again its just a poor dude trying to make a living in this though country.

There should be an orientation for the police force .the NPF should compensate the families of the deceased
See lets call a spade a spade....What they were doing was wrong. If you know the police are out for "blood" then simply don't give them the opportunity to harass you. We all know that bikes aren't allowed on the express way so why then would they go ahead to ride on it?! Its sad that they died and may their souls rest in peace but all of this would have been avoided if the obeyed the law in the first place. Nigerians are generally stubborn! We need avoid all forms lawlessness so we don't even give the police the opportunity to misbehave in the first place. God help us all and bless Nigeria.
r.i.p
C.E.O
THAT AWKWARD MOMENT WHEN THE MAINTAINERS OF THE LAW, BREAKS THE LAW. RIP BROTHERS. GOD HELP US ALL
So Sad. Deaths, killings, kidnapping is the order of the day all over Nigeria. this country Nigeria needs prayers and God's divine intervention. RIP victims
The is no God oo! however, I don't think he operates in Nigeria
na wa o. we are just the ones creating problems for ourselves in this country.
Linda Ikeji, people broke the law and now they are dead, you are now blaming the police??? Haba? Why can't you reason like a matured woman that you are. I think you can even strip just to gather comments on ur post. mstewwwwwwwwwwwwww
PS: I don't mean to be insensitive but rules are rules. May their souls rest in Peace tho. But God respects the rules of man.
Opelicious Morgann, you are a very stupid person for swearing in that manner, you don't have respect for God shey?
d police wen cause dis problem were he go,e pain me sha
There is God ooo. He is watching all the uniform men who are dealing with defenseless citizens. He will see us through. They can not kill us all.
