Man Killed by Oncoming Train in Lagos, LASEMA Confirms
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has reported a tragic incident where a man lost his life after being struck by a train on a railway track on Monday.
This information was revealed by the agency’s Permanent Secretary, Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, in an official statement released in Lagos.
According to Dr. Oke-Osanyintolu, LASEMA received an emergency call around 6:00 PM concerning the train accident that occurred along the railway line near Cappa in Lagos.
Responding swiftly to the distress call, the agency’s response team arrived at the scene and discovered an adult male lying on the track. It was determined that the man had been hit by an oncoming train while walking along the railway track.
Upon further investigation, it was revealed that the victim, who was partially clothed and remains unidentified, died instantly as a result of the severe impact from the collision.
The force of the train made it impossible for the man to survive, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
LASEMA’s response team proceeded to bag the remains of the deceased and is now awaiting the arrival of officials from the State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit (SEHMU), who will transport the body to the morgue for proper identification and further procedures.
This unfortunate incident highlights the dangers of walking along railway tracks, with LASEMA emphasizing the need for safety and caution in such areas.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
