Driver knocks down motorcyclist in Lagos

A commercial motorcyclist Monday morning was knocked down by a commercial bus driver at Toyota end of Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.

The motorcyclist was riding from Toyota inward Iyana-Isolo on the service lane, while the bus, marked LSR 438 XR, was heading towards Oshodi.

An angry mob has, however, destroyed the bus and was in an attempt to burn the bus before the intervention of the men of the Nigeria Police Force.
