Tragedy in Oshodi: Train Fatality Claims Life of 50-Year-Old Man
A tragic accident occurred in the Oshodi area of Lagos on Saturday, resulting in the death of a 50-year-old man known as Emmanuel. The incident took place near Arena Shopping Mall, prompting immediate police response.
Family sources revealed that Emmanuel’s sister received a distressing phone call around 9 AM, notifying her of the accident. The Lagos State Police confirmed that the Mosafejo Division was alerted about the incident at approximately 1:33 PM, and a team of detectives was promptly dispatched to the scene.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, the scene was thoroughly examined and documented. The victim’s body was subsequently transported to a public morgue for autopsy, with the case now under the jurisdiction of the Railway Police Command for deeper investigation.
Details surrounding this tragic event remain unclear, though it resonates with a similar incident from August in the Mushin area, where another male lost his life after being struck by a train. That unfortunate event reportedly occurred around 6 PM while the victim was traversing the railway tracks.
Local authorities, including the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, confirmed that the previous victim was found deceased at the scene, having sustained critical injuries from the collision.
The community mourns this loss as investigations continue to uncover the circumstances leading to these fatal train accidents in Lagos.
