After heavy rainfall in Lagos on Wednesday, a viral video emerged showing miscreants in the Ojo area of the state exploiting pedestrians seeking to use the walkway under the bridge, demanding N100 from each person.

An X user who identifies as ARISE0214 shared the video with the caption, “This is what the construction company has caused along Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

“While the construction is going on, they should provide temporary access route for the citizens where there are no pedestrian bridges to avoid all this.”
