JANDOR Commiserates With Ikeja Train Accident’s Victims, Says Absence Of Level Crossing Barrier Caused Avoidable Deaths
Lagos PDP Governorship Candidate Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (JANDOR), has commiserated with the Lagos State Civil Servants who were victims of an accident involving a passenger train and a Lagos state government BRT staff bus at PWD junction, Ikeja area of the state earlier today.
JANDOR in a statement issued by his Spokesman, Gbenga Ogunleye in Lagos on Thursday, says the train was coming from Agege towards Oshodi when it crushed a BRT vehicle with the Lagos state government workers on board while crossing the rail to link Ikeja GRA.
According to the statement, JANDOR has visited the scene of the accident and the Ikeja General Hospital where the victims were taken to offer support and succour.
He, however, stated that the accident is avoidable if barriers have been put in place to prevent vehicles access to the track while train approaches.
He also condemned the slow response to medical emergency experienced by the victims.
