An unidentified young man with
earphone on, was on Wednesday killed by a passenger train at Cappa area of
Oshodi, Lagos. The man was standing on the rail track oblivious of the fast
approaching train. The Ogun-Lagos-bound mass transit train was leaving its
Oshodi station to Mushin when the accident occurred.
The train had as usual, sounded its
horn repeatedly as it was approaching the railway crossing at Ilupeju Bye-pass
for clearance of its traAccording to an eyewitness, the man who had his
earphone on was apparently carried away with either the call he was receiving
or listening to music.
“Obviously the man was not aware of
the approaching train even as it blasted its horn, perhaps because of the
earphone. “Before he knew it, he was already hit by the train and was not given
any chance to escape. “Immediately he was hit, the body was mangled as the
train dragged it underneath,’’ the eyewitness said.
People standing by the rail track
that saw the incident raised their hands over their heads in a show of pity for
the deceased.“The man has suddenly and unwittingly lost his life to sheer
carelessness,’’ a passenger said. It was not the first time a moving train
would crush to death people standing on the rail track because of having their
earphones on. Among them was a lady in 2006, killed at Shogunle GRA
railway crossing, while another one was killed in 2007 at Oshodi.
