His tweet read: “A whole Lagos street boy like me… London boys nearly run me street this morning. While at the Bus stop checking my map to see when the next bus 🚌 will come, a guy on a bicycle 🚲 snatched my phone “Cheers mate”, and sped off. It’s today I know that I still have mad reflex. The way I ran after him on the main road ehn, even the cars had to stop… he thought he was sleek by not using the bicycle lane, thinking I would give up once he infiltrates the cars on the main road. The moment he realised I was very close to catching up with him and I was going to use my umbrella on his head, he dropped the phone on the road and zoomed off. It’s why I will never trust all these South Eastern London boys who go about with durags and face covers on bicycles. Anyways, I will soon leave this London for you people. 😔” See post below:

Lagos Govt debunks claim of train victims left unattended, calls rumour peddlers wicked

Lagos State Govt debunks claim of train victims left unattended

Lagos State government debunks reports about the victims of Thursday’s train accident left unattended at the hospital.

The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) received a number of accident victims following a train and BRT crash in the Ikeja area of the state which left six people dead. In a statement, the state government condemned reports that suggested that the victims were left unattended in LASUTH. It released images of victims who have been treated and stabilized while stating that they’ve undergone a series of checkups.

It, however, termed false news peddlers as wicked and mischievous for ridiculing the effort of the Lagos State government and the hospital. “The falsehood peddled on social media that victims of the train accident at Ikeja were left unattended to is wicked and mischievous. Pure ignorance. Victims were speedily evacuated to LASUTH. They were attended to outside the emergency Centre to classify their injuries. Normal medical procedure in an emergency.

Survivors have since undergone various stages of treatment and admitted into wards. LASUTH has displayed excellence and commitment to ensure all patients are stable and discharged promptly. It is inhuman for anyone to go on social media to peddle rumours when families grieve over the loss of their loved ones.”

Evil lots.” @Odogwu_Nomso: “May you not rely in Nigeria when you have Emergency, when you say let’s build health care they will be arguing now look at the state of this.
