PHOTOS: SEE How Cultists destroy over 20 cars in Bariga, Lagos

Some young men believed to be members of a cult group went on a rampage around 10pm yesterday in the Bariga area of Lagos, destroying many cars. The mayhem started from Ore-efero street and spread to other streets in Bariga. The people who live in the area say the guys started quarreling and it escalated into a full blown street war with cars parked on the road taking the biggest brunt of their anger.

When residents called the police in Somolu, the police there allegedly said the area is not their coverage. See more photos after the cut...

ANOTHER TRAGEDY: Truck Kills Pregnant And 4 More People In Oshodi, Lagos

At least 5 people, including a pregnant woman, were killed in the Oshodi area, Lagos, on Tuesday after a sand-bearing truck lost control and bumped into three stationary vehicles.


The tragedy happened in a motor park, in the ever-busy commercial area. According to the Lagos State Police Command, the driver of the truck, Lawrence Nwaodu, aged 45, was arrested right after the accident.

A statement by the command Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said the crash, which occurred at noon, was caused by the failed brake of the vehicle.

Braide’s statement read,

“Five yet-to-be-identified female pedestrians lost their lives. One of the deceased was a pregnant woman, whose fetus also gushed out, bringing the casualty figure to six in number. About five people

were also injured and they are currently receiving treatment at LASUTH."

The PPRO reminded motorists to ensure that their vehicles were always road worthy to “stem the rising tide of fatal motor accidents.”
