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.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
