[EXTRA] Train halts for Man who sits on rail track in Lagos, after losing N35,000
A moving train at Cappa/Oshodi in Lagos, has halted for a man on Thursday who sat absent-mindedly on the rail track over loss of N35,000.
The man was resting on his hands placed on his knees while ignoring the blasting horns of the train.
When asked why he ignored the warnings, he said he was on his way to Arena Shopping Complex when he lost N35,000.
“I was on my way to Arena when I realised I had lost N35,000,” he added that the shock of the loss numbed him.
An eyewitness said: “Even I could hear the train horn from a far distance.”
What was most surprising for other eyewitnesses was that it was unusual for a train in motion to stop abruptly.
One eyewitness said: “I don’t want to witness what I did some few years ago in this same place, how a train smashed a man into smithereens right before me.”

BREAKING; Police withdraws security personnel attached to Lagos Speaker Meranda
Security personnel attached to Speaker, Lago State House of Assembly Mojisola Meranda, along with those safeguarding the Assembly complex, have been withdrawn with immediate effect.
The withdrawal has left both the Speaker and the legislative building unprotected.
Mr. Victor Ganzallo, the Speaker’s Special Adviser on Information, confirmed the alarming development and voiced serious concerns over the sudden removal of security personnel.
“As of now, all security detail has been removed from the Speaker, and she is left without protection,” Ganzallo revealed.
He cautioned that this leaves the Speaker “vulnerable and exposed to potential threats,” stressing the urgent need for action to address the security gap.
The reason behind the withdrawal remains unknown, with no official statements issued from either the Lagos State Police Command or the state government.
