Reports reaching MedMETRO indicates that the Okada rider and two male passengers were crushed to death 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.

This is indeed heart-breaking but it would be wrong to hold the BRT responsible for this incident. Let us bear in mind that the cyclist was being chased. The cyclist was aware of the restriction on motorbikes on major roads in Lagos. May their souls Rest In Peace.
