Eyewitness says the commercial bus was picking up passengers at the bus stop along the Ojuelegba Bridge when the truck lost control and fell over the side of the bridge.

Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) officials who were present at the scene suspended the container and cut off the top of the bus to rescue a woman and take her to the trauma centre.

LASEMA Permanent Secretary, Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu confirmed the incident.

He explained that the nine victims recovered comprised four adult males, three adult females, a girl child and a boy child.

“Recovery of the fallen container is still ongoing, though it has been taken off on top of the minibus but is yet to be completely removed from the location, traffic is still on hold, and we have a backlog of traffic presently at Alaka.

“Kindly exercise patience or find an alternative if you are not trapped in the traffic.”
