The management of the Lagos Bus Services Limited (LBSL) has suspended all bus operations for the safety of passengers following the EndSars protest in the city.
SUNRISE.NG reports that the Managing Director of Lagos Bus Services Limited (LBSL), Mr. Idowu Oguntona disclosed this in a statement issued by LBSL Public Affairs Officer, Afolabi Olawale,
Olawale disclosed that the LBSL boss said the suspension was due to a viral video on social media of thugs who disrupted protesters at Alausa coming out of bus 240171.
“This is contrary to the narratives being circulated across social media in respect of a bus belonging to LBSL captured at the Secretariat Bus Stop, Alausa this morning,” he said.
According to him, the bus was heading towards Oshodi from Berger around 8 a.m when some armed individuals disembarked from a particular yellow vehicle in front of the bus at the Secretariat Bus Stop.
“One of our buses during the normal cause of operations ran into approaching armed people this morning. When the people were sighted armed and heading towards our bus, commuters in the bus scampered for safety due to the imminent danger.
