“A tragedy occurred today on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway in Nigeria, highlighting once again the dangers of excessive speeding on our roads. At around 7:10am this morning, a horrific accident involving a Toyota bus and a Bajaj motorcycle claimed the lives of two people, while another sustained serious injuries.
Williams Manga, the FRSC Unit Commander, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the accident happened near Mammy Barracks Market on the expressway. First responders from the unit responded quickly, but unfortunately, two people on the motorcycle lost their lives on the spot.
According to Manga, excessive speeding appears to be the main cause of the tragic accident. This is unfortunately not an isolated incident on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, and the Commander once again appeals to motorists to exercise caution and limit their speed on the single-lane road unique.
It is crucial that drivers are made aware of the risks involved in not respecting road safety rules. Awareness programmes have already been put in place to inform drivers of the dangers of excessive speed, but it is clear that further measures must be taken to ensure the safety of all.
At this time of mourning for the families of the victims, it is essential that concrete actions are taken to prevent such tragedies in the future. Road safety must remain a top priority for all stakeholders, and educational and repressive measures must be put in place to enforce the rules of the road.
In conclusion, this tragic incident must be a powerful reminder of the importance of road safety and the responsibility of everyone on the road. Together, we can work to prevent such accidents and ensure the safety of all road users.”
