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.

So sad. May there soul rest in perfect peace. Innocent children.
I stay and work on this road. At least two people are killed everyday on this road by moving vehicles. We need more pedestrians on this road and net fence to block out the middle divider so people wont be able to cross d express
Linda have been in the traffic since 8am I tried to walk down but the police was throwing teargas and shooting, people had to start running back, its really serious oh!
Nd you think u have made sense, why bring tribe into dis
You who have sense living in the world, what would you suggest they do? Let the issue go uncovered? You need more brains????
Its a lie jor.
Even with the presence of pedestrian bridges, they still cross the roads like thieves.
Go to Oshodi, 5STAR to confirm this.
Its really sad,these tanker drivers are do recklace, well these wasnt funny on me today,had to start trekking from vgc got to megachicken and saw people running because the police wss shooting and the area boys were protesting.
May GOD be wit their families. LORD pls watch over us as d year is going to an end. Five(5) Leaders of tomorrow av been killed. So pathetic *tears*
So sad. May God receive their innocent little souls Amen
Miya
Rubbish. This is so annoying. Those roads are death traps. Lcc and hitech are busy collecting tolls left right and centre. Its so difficult to cross the roads at chevron , new road, ikota, igbo efun. Absolute nightmare!! No provision for pedestrian bridges and I've always wondered why.
May God have mercy on you for this stupid comment!
Really sad, Lord please comfort their families. when, anonymous fellow, where do yorubas come in oh, they said tanker driver killed them, wetin consign yoruba now. tribalistic nonsense.

Really sad, Lord please comfort their families. when, anonymous fellow, where do yorubas come in oh, they said tanker driver killed them, wetin consign yoruba now. tribalistic nonsense.
You are a sick tribalistic Igbo goat. What do Yoruba people have to do with this issue, do you even know the tribe of the driver and who tells you the poor children aren't even Yoruba. God will judge you for tribalising such a sad incidence. Linda you need to stop posting stupid tribalistic comments except you are also a bigot.
It took the grace of God in me not to call you stupid. Was there n overhead bridge before he became governor? Abi he ws d tanker abi trailer driver??? Think before u comment o
Linda, where is Prince Charming hiding OR has he changed his alias?
RIP kiddo's...........so so sad!

So sad,dis nation sha,y pedestrian go dey wey fashola n tinubu dey build toll gate to make moni,foolish pple
*Sad* R.I.P
Mumu like u! How can u say Fashola has caused more harm than good? If u don't know what to say pls shut ur mouth.
If na ur pikin die, u go think of going to work. Heartless fellow
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.
Very Sad.
U r an idiot!...Fashola has done more good dan harm...pple like u never know wats called civilization,u prefer to be stuck in ur goddam mud house village...we all know and pray for a bridge der,not dis rubbish u feel its a suggestion! Am a proud lagosian and am glad to have Fashola as my gov....wldnt mind for presidency!

Yea, I agree. He shouldn't have abandoned the truck nah. He should have stayed at the scene at least. Heartless Governor
May their souls rest in peace. This is just sad, must Nigerians continue to die before the government will act, now that this have happened Fashola will do a pedestrian bridge on that road
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
Omg. Who knows painful there feel b4 they give up
Omg! How?
U are too stupid to be on the internet posting comments. It's just not fair!!!
Tanker drivers and trailer drivers are blood suckers. Most of them are demonic. May the blood of these young souls torment their killers.

Fellow Nigerians doing nothing will not bring about change . The people you call area boys are fellow Nigerians who have lost all sense of hope because of the "one man takes all" approach to wealth distribution . Please leave them alone your contribution is to comment *sigh*

no pedestrian bridge, no traffic light at any of the roundabouts on that expressway....meanwhile people are establishing markets at each roundabout...and while all this madness is going on toll is being collected - what a shame..fashols organized oshodi and created the monster called lekki - epe expressway....what a clown..

Halima
Hmmm...its so so sad!! Please God save us from the hands of the evil ones..R.I.P little ones
It's not the fault of the driver. Trust me, lekki epe express is a death trap for pedestrians. My heart always skips for people crossing that road on daily basis...
Hmmm...its so so sad!! Please God save us from the hands of the evil ones..R.I.P little ones
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?
a very sad news...May God' s protection be upon us
Bad news...
May their gentle souls find peaceful repose in the Lord's bossom...
Dat road na broad way 2 hell,t wide,i live at co_perative villa,with out driving me am nt going out.just go 2 church redeem'+pillar of truth,down my street,if him don pass thier i no dey commot.rip little one.
Omg! This is so sad and hardhearted:(
Omg! This is so sad and hardhearted:(
Ah! May dia souls rest in peace.
Oloriburuku ni e. What has dis got to do with tribes? Linds stop posting comments from tribalistic fools.
Come back home and give us your sense.
u are a fool...juz pray ur family,wil neva get involved in an accident...sayin rubbish...u nor go shut up ur smellin mouth....
AntyLinda,whr is ma comment nah???I wonder oo
@ 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
And may God punish u 4 dat statement... Who told u it ws a yoruba man dat killed dem... Omo ale oshi!
Less I 4get, its heartless nt hatless.. Mumu
This is no Oga Fashola's fault. I blame the LCC 4 they've got more work to do on those roads than they've done already. I stay around Ajah, Its actually 3 pupils not 5.
@le effizy,u'r an unadulterated fool.Were there toll gates on dat road b4?Fasola or fasole is a loser n dat was why he was booed out of pa omojuwa's burial with chants of ole,ole
sad
how many of u do slow down when u see schl children waitin to cross, now u open your dirty fregene sayin Fashola dat fashola dis.
I recite my prayers, ask for forgiveness of all sins before I cross daily...
i was there @ the scene it was really terrible,the area boys aimed big stones and broke peoples screen,our nigerian police in deir usual manner opend fire and those tatafo people who wouldnt run wen odas were running gat hit by the bullet...a woman who was with her child instead of running as i and odas did she went with the child to go and hear and see and in the process dat innocent child gat killed....terrible! people were injured as every1 was running for his or her life after the tear gas and gunshot was unbearable...i only gat bruised on ma palm buh thank GOD for life...pls and pls dat road needs a foot bridge so also new road bustop after chevron,crossing that road isnt childs play,i work there so i know exactly wat am talking about....God help us.
I dreamt of this crushing last night and I never prayed about it... So sad... I never knew it will happen this morning... God forgive me and have mercy on the children.. May their soul rest in the Lord Jesus! Amen!
The Yorubas hate the Ibos so much that whenever they see a negative comment about them, they quickly attack the ibos. In other words, there are only two tribes on this blog: if you are not Yoruba, then you are IBO.
May the soul of the dead rest in peace
Samsung is World's highest handset seller
Whenever someone says anything bad about Yoruba peeps some idiots just conclude that the person is Igbo.now can you tell me who's tribalistic.if you hate igbos kindly hang yourselves because the feeling is mutual
God bless u for this! Dey drive with sooo much speed like fools #judge urself b4 u blame d government
oh God so pathetic rest in peace.poor kids
Readers of this blog jez abuse themselves anyhow, like it counts, y'all don't know who it is u're calling an idiot, evryborri has his/her own opinion let em talk, talk ur own......., bush ppl
My mum told me about the accident this morning and telling me that three of the pupils is from her school complex and two died instantly while the other is at hospital. She lamented that so many children has lost their lives on trying to cross the road, that they need a pedestrian bridge . So sad RIP kids.
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
KAI INI, THIS IS REALLY SAD BUT THANK GOD YOU ARE OKAY. MAY THE SOULS OF THOSE WE LOST YESTERDAY REST IN PEACE. HM! UNEASY IS THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE CROWN. GOD BE WITH US ALL!
MAY THEIR SOULS RIP!!!
Almost everythg is upside down in Nig.May God have mercy on our dear nation n may the souls of the pupils rest in peace.
@Annon 2:14pm.........i should say u are stupid but d fact dat i think ur eyez betrayed u wont make me say dat.......d pix u are seeing is a mother of 2 with size UK 12......i dont which angle ur bad eyes are viewing from......pls upload ur pix...am sure u are worst dan chewing stick with ketch-up bottle neck and u want everyone to be like u.......instead of u to comment based on d issue on ground...u're running ur mouth/fingers like tap talking rubbish........
Hello. To be sincere, five student were not crushed but three and 1 injured but later died in d hospital. I waz inside my skul bus when d incident occured.
Loool! @ better still go to the nearest bustop and enter a bus to the other side !!! So me now that stays at ikota villa will come outta the gate! Then walk miles to 1st gate and pick a bus to where? that will turn at where? Before going to work Abi? Smh! I no blame you! TALK IS CHEAP!
Koni dafuwon... Put a pic up there and I will have time to give u a befittting reply... Now run along child.
@Teju,may the good Lord always lead you by the hand as you cross.Amen
Lack of pedestrian bridge ke? Even with the bridge, right underneath it they will still cross the lanes, they would ignore the safety of the bridge!!! Rip to the lil ones!!!
We don't have a government.
You who said,they have no sense,I'm sure you aren't a human being,and I'm sure,there'd be no sense of remorse for u,what the people are fighting for È‹̝̊̅§ called citizens right,so be careful @ur reply
i just pray dis souls are not from same mother.......May their
soul rest in peace.Amen
I just hope this children are not from same folks......May their soul rest in peace
i love ur tinkin,very constructiv reasonin.
@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!
#viewFrom10thFloor.
I don't blame u guyz cause u don't knw wat those people dere re facin everydai people die on dat road especially ikota 1st gate
Pls d govt needs to build more bridge DAT road is scary. Very scary. At least d fashoka word listen now. How can dey collect money from toll gate Nd don't build bridge na waa ooooo
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!
