There was chaos in Ikorodu area of Lagos State on Monday morning as one of the buses in the fleet of the Bus Rapid Transport crushed a Primary 4 pupil, Ezekiel Daniel, to death in Idiroko, Majidun area of Ikorodu in Lagos State.
The pupil of Cherubim and Seraphim School II was killed by the driver at about 7:30am on his way to school.
Daniel was said to have dashed into the BRT lane on his own without waiting for the school’s security personnel who help pupils across the road.
The driver, according to those at the scene, must not have been expecting that to happen as vehicles are normally stopped to allow pupils go across the road.
The bus driver immediately zoomed off on running over Daniel.
This development led to the blocking of the road by protesting residents of the area.
It took the intervention of policemen and soldiers to restore normalcy.
