LAGBUS goes up in flames

Commuters at the Ojodu/Berger terminal of
LAGBUS on Friday took to their heels in panic
after a bus which had just driven into the
station suddenly burst into flames.
A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) in Lagos, reports that the commuters
fled in different directions when flames erupted
under the front wheels of the bus with
registration no: XP 962 AKD.
The driver, simply identified as Amuda, and
other officials of the LAGBUS Asset
Management Company, operators of the buses,
however, were able to promptly bring the fire
under control.
A commuter, Mr. Oyewole Kayode, told NAN
that some friction on the brake linings may
have caused the fire.
Kayode, who claimed to be a technician, lauded
the officials for putting out the fire, without any
causality.
He described the situation as unfortunate,
saying it could have happened to anyone.
