In a related incident, passengers on a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in Lagos were attacked and robbed by street thugs on Tuesday in Orile. Victim Dare Abiola reported that the assailants, who were disguised as protesters against a motorcycle seizure, attacked the bus around 1 pm, stealing passengers’ valuables.

Abiola recounted, “The attackers, posing as protesters, boarded the bus and began breaking windows. They stole my bag and phone, threatening me with a bottle. The attack lasted about 20 to 30 minutes without any security intervention.”

He has since reported the incident to the Orile police station. Lagos police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin acknowledged the incident but stated that he does not have further details at this time.
