I had just gotten into lagos state after over 1month on that tuesday and needed to get a cab to take me home when i heard the loud train warning sound from afar, if you are familiar with the yaba area of lagos you will know there is always a huge hustle to leave the train path when the train sounds its alarm. It used to be abit worse when there were actual traders on the railway.
You can imagine my shock when i read this as I never knew something like this happened and i was some what close to the place of the accident minutes before the tragedy.
Read the story when you continue:
An unidentified man was crushed to death while attempting to board a train in motion at the Yaba Railway Market, Lagos State. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday at about 4pm, was said to have caused commotion in the area as people ran in different directions. The man, who was an electrician on his way back from work, was said to have approached the train at full speed, but lost his balance and slipped, while the train dragged him, dislodging some parts of his body and eventually slitting his throat.
