A bus rapid transit (BRT) belonging to Primero Transport Services Limited rammed into a commercial motorcycle on Wednesday in Ile-Igbo area of Abule-Egba, Lagos, killing the rider and a passenger.

It was gathered that the motorcyclist was plying the BRT lane without switching on the headlamp of his motorcycle when the tragedy struck around 4am.

The second passenger was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The bus driver Bohan Abiodun, it was learnt, reported the incident at Oke-Odo Police Division.

Spokesperson of Primero Transport Services Mutiu Yekeen in a statement said: “We regret to announce an accident that occurred around 4am on Wednesday, close to Ile-Igbo, inward Abule-Egba. A bus heading for Abule-Egba from Oshodi to convey early morning commuters was involved in an accident that claimed the lives of two victims on the spot. A commercial motorcyclist conveying two passengers, according to the busman, appeared from nowhere on the BRT corridor.”

The company commiserated with the victims’ families, adding that the case is still being investigated.

Lagos police spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the corpses of the victims have been deposited in a morgue for autopsy.
