Operators of both the Bus Rapid Transport and LAGBUS bus services in Lagos have denied that a vehicle in their fleet was involved in any road mishap on Monday.
The rumour mill was thick on Monday morning to the effect that ‘a fully loaded BRT bus crashed and plunged into the Lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.’

| THE FRSC TWEET ABOUT THE ACCIDENT |
Posts on social media suggested that it emanated from a tweet by the Federal Road Safety Commission.
The tweet was later deleted without an explanation from FRSC.
The managing director of LAGBUS Assets Management Ltd., operators of LAGBUS buses, Mr. Babatunde Disu, denied any such incident.
Disu told the News Agency of Nigeria that no bus in the LAGBUS fleet, as well as its sister transport company, BRT, was involved in any accident on Monday.
“Some people can be mischievous! Nothing of such has happened and nobody is praying for such a disaster,” Disu said.
In the same vein, Mr. Kolawole Ojelabi, a consultant with the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, regulators of the BRT, told NAN that the “malicious rumour was only the imagination of some weird people.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
