LASEMA’s Permanent Secretary, Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, reported that the agency responded to an emergency call about a train accident near Cappa in Lagos at approximately 6 pm. He stated, “Upon arrival at the scene, we discovered an adult male who had been walking along the railway track and was killed by an oncoming train.”

Dr. Oke-Osanyintolu added, “The deceased, a yet-to-be-identified, half-dressed male, was found dead on the tracks due to the collision. The remains have been bagged by our response team and are awaiting transfer to the morgue by the State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit (SEHMU).”

In a separate incident, Naija News reports that tensions erupted in the Agungi area of Lekki, Lagos, following the gruesome murder of Demola, the first son of the Ojomu of Ajiran land, Tijani Akinloye. Sources told Punch that Demola was shot and brutally killed by unidentified gunmen near Chevron Drive, close to Ebano Supermarket. This brutal assassination has caused widespread fear and led to a mass exodus from the area.

An estate management notice confirmed the incident, advising residents to avoid Chevron, Agungi, and Ajiran areas due to the escalating violence. The notice read, “We inform residents that the king’s son of Ajiran was assassinated today along Chevron Drive. We urge everyone to avoid the Chevron area, Agungi, and Ajiran for their safety.”

When contacted, Lagos State Police Command spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin stated he had no information regarding the case.
