He ran into the train and was crushed to death on the spot.
According
to an eye witness, Mr. Bola Ojo, rather than exercise patience the
deceased tried to cross the level crossing and thereby paid with his
life.
“Instead of him to wait for the train to pass he was in a hurry. Now he has lost his life,” said Ojo.
Sympathisers at the scene used his mobile phone to call
one of his brothers who said he was working at Apapa and he was told
that his brother had an accident and needed urgent assistance.
Policemen from Abattoir and Oko Oba divisions arrived the scene after the accident to control the large crowd that had gathered.
