Published by

Four people on Tuesday morning died while some others were injured when a car rammed into commuters standing at a bus stop in the Ogudu area of Lagos State.

Tribune Online gathered that the incident happened at Ogudu towards Third Mainland Bridge when the car on top speed rammed into those waiting for vehicles.

An Eyewitness, with his name withheld, said no fewer than four people died in the accident.

Speaking on the accident, The Public Relations Officer of Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Mr Nosa Okunbor, confirmed the incident, adding that the Agency had sketchy details on the accident.

“Indeed, an accident occurred earlier this morning at Ogudu that left a few people dead.

“However, the distress call was a call escalated through the 767/112 Lagos emergency toll-free lines and was attended to by LASAMBUS.

“Therefore, LASEMA does not have a report or statement on it,” Okunbor said.
