A tragic incident occurred on Monday at the Charlie Boy bus-stop via Oshodi-Gbagada expressway in Lagos State, where two female officials of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) lost their lives. The driver responsible for the accident has not yet been identified. The incident took place as the driver attempted to escape a raid by officers from the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA). Eyewitnesses reported that the two women died instantly upon impact.

The lifeless bodies of the LAWMA cleaners were found lying in a drainage channel, and onlookers gathered to mourn the loss. The driver, who drove a Sienna vehicle, seemed to have lost control and struck the two women while they were carrying out their duties. The motive behind the driver's actions remains unknown.

Authorities swiftly apprehended the driver and handed him over to the police. As a result of the incident, traffic congestion ensued on the Oshodi-Gbagada motorway, leaving hundreds of cars and commuters stranded for hours. The situation worsened when people blocked both routes of the motorway, bringing traffic movement to a standstill. The influx of vehicles attempting to reach their destinations via the motorway lanes contributed to the traffic jam, causing significant delays for motorists.

Fortunately, law enforcement authorities arrived at the scene to prevent any further complications or potential disasters. Their presence aimed to restore order and ensure the safety of all individuals affected by the incident.
