An official of the Lagos Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) was yesterday crushed to dead by a BRT bus along Marina Road.
The victim identified as Eko Peter was on duty at the BRT intersection at Onikan and had attempted to cross the road when he was knocked down by the vehicle.
Identity of the driver was not known but the agency’s public relations officer, Mrs Bola Ajao, said the BRT driver was arrested at Iyana Oworo end of the third mainland bridge and he is being detained at the Lion Building Police Station.
A witness said the driver, having run over his victim, waited a while before he zoomed off in high speed.

The Lagos State Police Relations Officer (PPRO), Ngozi Braide, said it is a clear case of hit and run and that the suspect will face the music.
