An alternative pedestrian bridge in Oshodi, Lagos State, was overwhelmed with commuters on the morning of Monday, March 3, due to the continued closure of the walkway connecting Oshodi Bus Terminals 2 and 3.
The Lagos State Government had sealed off the bridge in January, citing structural concerns and potential safety hazards.
To enforce compliance, officials cautioned residents against crossing major highways where pedestrian bridges are available, even launching arrests to deter violators.
As a result, commuters now heavily depend on the alternative pedestrian bridge, leading to severe congestion.
Viral photos and videos capture the overcrowding, with pedestrians voicing concerns about safety risks and a rise in theft incidents.
