Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, confirmed the change in a press release on Thursday. He stated that the diversion is necessary for the demolition of the old pedestrian bridge. During this time, only one lane will be open to traffic from Ile Zik Bus Stop to Conoil Petrol Filling Station to ensure safety.

Osiyemi assured that the diversion will not affect traffic heading towards Dopemu/Abule Egba. Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) will manage vehicle flow and minimize disruptions. He also emphasized that jersey barriers and protective nets will be used to safeguard both motorists and commuters.

In a related incident, passengers on a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) bus were attacked and robbed by street thugs in Orile, Lagos State, on Tuesday. Victim Dare Abiola reported that the attack, which occurred around 1 p.m., was carried out by individuals posing as protesters against motorcycle seizures. The robbers stole passengers’ valuables, including Abiola’s money and phone, and threatened him with a weapon. He later filed a complaint at the Orile police station.
