Recently, motorists and commuters were stuck for hours after a commercial motorcyclist carrying two passengers collided with an on-coming, Lagos, yellow commercial bus (danfo) at Dopemu Bus Stop on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.
The commercial motorcycle, aka okada rider, was riding against traffic in a brazen manner. It was gathered that he was speeding recklessly in a bid to beat the heavy morning traffic. His passengers sustained various degrees of injuries. One of his passenger’s legs was severely twisted; the bus driver lost control and plunged into a nearby canal.
The Dopemu accident was one out of several other reported okada accidents that occur daily in different parts of Lagos. Many have been killed, while others were left with lifelong scars. Residents who ply the city’s roads are tired of the menace of the motorcyclists, who operate with sheer recklessness.
