A large crowd of commuters were on Monday sighted on an alternative pedestrian bridge in the Oshodi area of Lagos State.
PUNCH Metro learnt this was due to the closure of the pedestrian bridge linking Oshodi Bus Terminals 2 and 3.
The Lagos State Government had ordered the bridgeโs immediate closure in January, citing concerns over its safety and structural integrity.
It was gathered that the development, however, coincided with the arrest of commuters crossing the road by officials of the state environmental sanitation, otherwise known as KAI.
This led to overcrowding on the bridge as seen in a viral video by our correspondent.
Some of the commuters also groaned over the development, citing inconvenience and cases of theft.
While calling on the state government to hasten the repair of the main bridge, the commuters expressed fear over the imminent danger associated with the crowd on the alternative bridge. (Punch)
