Lagosians Fight To Enter Banks As Lockdown Eases (Video)

Crowded BRT station

Below is a video showing Lagosians trampling on themselves while struggling to enter banks on Monday which marks the beginning of the ease of lockdown in Lagos.

A video also showed Lagosians defying the social distancing and transport guidelines given by authorities in the grate against COVID-19.

Dr Frederic Oladeinde, the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, had said: “Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Lagos Bus Services Ltd (LBSL) must not convey more than 21 passengers, must not permit standing in their buses and should keep the air-conditioning systems switched off always.

“In the same vein, while private car owners must also observe the physical distancing,” Oladeinde added.
