Unbelievable: See The Man Who Survived The Trailer Accident At Ojuelegba
Lagos went cold on Wednesday, September 2, when a trailer fell off the Ojuelegba bridge, crushing two private vehicles.
At least three people were reported killed in the accident, and none would have believed that anyone could have survived. But pictured below is one survivor named Lasisi Akeem.
Akeem was in the white car that was almost crushed by the trailer when it fell from the bridge in Ojuelegba. Miraculously he escaped from his car without any hurt. A grateful Akeem who spoke to the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), said he was full of praises to God.
Accidents of this nature are not new in Lagos, news about trucks and trailers wrecking havoc on Lagos roads are common. This latest incident however, has elicited outrage from residents of Lagos who are asking the authorities what measures are being taken to ensure that such ugly incidents don’t occur again.
Joe Adedeji, a banker who spoke with Naij.com correspondent, said the constant re-occurrence of such road mishaps, call to question the plans put in place to rid the roads of rickety buses and rickety trucks and trailers that ply the highways.
Adedeji urged the government and the authorities concerned with safety on the road, to ensure that such mishaps are averted, by ensuring that the roads are properly maintained and the vehicles in perfect order to be driven.
He also pleaded that a quick intervention be made to help ease grid-locks, and aid the free flow of traffic jams as he claimed that traffic jams also pose a threat to Lagosians.

The Lagos Government Want To Buy Two New Helicopters
PM News has learnt, however, that the fact of the purchase will
depend on the ability of the state authorities to meet the re-ordered
budget approved by the House of Assembly this September.
One of the recommendations of the the ad-hoc committee set-up to prepare the 2015 budget re-order was that the sum of N3.8 billion be approved for capital expenditure to meet the security and emergency needs of the state.
“The additional sum of N670,418,193 and N3,819,248,855 be approved respectively as recurrent and capital expenditure for security and emergency intervention fund (including acquisition of rescue helicopters).”
Rotimi Olowo, the committee chairman, lamented that the previously purchased helicopters did not meet the safety requirements. The official stressed the importance of having good equipment for rescue and evacuation operations and recalled the accident involving Bristow helicopter crash in Lagos. He insisted that the rescue process could have been facilitated, had the government the required equipment.
The House further approved additional sums as special expenditure.
The referred to tragic Bristow crash occurred on August 12 when a helicopter flying from Port-Harcourt fell into the Oworosoki end of the Lagos lagoon.

Hilarious! Read Native Doctor sells 1 week old baby for N300,000
Lagos state police have arrested Mr. Olawale Onalaja, a traditional-medicine doctor for allegedly selling a one week-old baby to a couple Dele and Oluwakemi Ayangbile, for N300,000 in Iyana Ipaja, Lagos.
It was learnt that the 29 year old mother of the baby, Idiat Babatunde, had her baby on September 5th.
Then on Sept 13th, she had a misunderstanding with her Husband, Akinola Babatunde, and because she had to travel to school for her convocation, she took the 8 days old baby to Onalaja, who was supposed to be a family friend and asked him to watch the infant until she returned from school, a Polytechnic in Osun State.
However, as soon as she left, he contacted the Ayangbiles and sold the baby to them for N300,000.
So when Idiat returned from school, she went straight to Onalaja to pick up her baby, however, he lied to her that the baby was in the custody of a government-owned orphanage where he would be properly taken care of.
In regards to the Ayangbiles, they took the infant home but tafter 3 days, their suspicious landlord who knew Kemi Ayangbile hadn't been pregnant but now had a new born baby was said to have reported the matter at the Ketu Police Division.
According to Punch Metro, the police visited the Ayangbiles, arrested them and also picked up Onalaja.
Kemi, said she had been trying to get pregnant since she got married in 2009 to no avail. She said Onalaja was a family friend who had advised her to adopt a child.
She said:
“I have known the traditional doctor since 2013. I got married in 2009 and I used to have miscarriages. It was while looking for treatment that I met him. In 2014, he advised that I should adopt a baby, but I did not agree.
“Two Mondays ago, he called me on the telephone and said I should meet him. He told me that he had a baby at hand to give us, adding that he would obtain all the necessary papers. I then discussed it with my husband and he said we should go for the baby since Onalaja was going to get the papers. He did not tell us that the baby’s mother was not aware of the transaction.
“I paid him N300,000, and brought the baby home. But after three days, the police came to arrest my husband and I. We have been barren for six years, and we need a child. We mean no harm to the baby.”
Onalaja on the other hand denied selling the baby to the couple, he said he only took N156,000 from them which was needed to process adoption papers from the government ministry in Alausa.
He said, “The agreement between the mother of the baby and I was that I would take the baby to an orphanage. The mother agreed to collect the baby back after three months in government’s custody.
“It is true that I collected N156,000 from Kemi and gave the baby to her. I wanted to take the baby to Alausa to register in an orphanage. But I was called on the telephone that the couple was arrested by the police. That was how I was also arrested. I do not sell babies. The mother is known to me.”
The mother of the baby, Idiat, said:
“I had a quarrel with my husband, and so he was not at home when the baby was born.
“I gave the baby to Onalaja a week after while I went to school. It was when I returned that I realised that my baby had been sold. But I am happy to be reunited with him.”
A police source, however, said the mother of the baby knew about the sale of the baby.
The Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said the baby had been reunited with the parents, while the suspects would be charged to court.
He said:
“Although the baby has been returned to the mother, he is still under the watch of the Family Support Unit of the command.
“Investigation is almost concluded, and the suspects will appear in court soon.”
