LAGBUS Crushes Soldier to Death in Lagos


The LAGBUS and witnesses at the scene


Tragedy struck on Monday on the Funsho Williams Avenue bypass, Surulere, Lagos State, after a yet-to-be identified soldier was crushed to death by a LAGBUS, one of the buses in the state mass transit scheme.

Commuters plying the bridge could not help but watch in horror as the mangled body of the soldier was cut into two by the bus.

Eyewitnesses said the  victim, who was riding a motorcycle, was also carrying a woman on the back seat. The passenger was reportedly flung away by the impact of the collision.

She was said to be in a critical condition and had been taken to an unknown hospital in the state.

It was further learnt that the bus driver, after seeing the extent of the damage, removed his uniform and fled the scene.

The vehicle passengers also took to their heels to avoid reprisals by soldiers.
