Lagos in Chaos: Bridge Closure Sparks Deadly Gridlock, Leaving Commuters Stranded for Hours

Lagos in Chaos: Bridge Closure Sparks Deadly Gridlock, Leaving Commuters Stranded for Hours

Lagos in Chaos: Bridge Closure Sparks Deadly Gridlock, Leaving Commuters Stranded for Hours

Lagos, Nigeria – A traffic nightmare unfolded in Lagos on Wednesday, leaving thousands of commuters stranded for hours as the Independence Bridge closure in Falomo triggered an unprecedented gridlock across the city. The situation spiraled into tragedy, with reports of a seven-year-old boy dying in traffic after failing to reach the hospital on time, and a 70-year-old woman hospitalized after falling into a manhole while trekking to escape the congestion.

City in Gridlock: A Commute from Hell

What started as a routine road closure for bridge maintenance quickly descended into chaos, as Lagosians found themselves trapped in endless traffic stretching across Victoria Island, Ikoyi, and Lekki. Stranded motorists blasted the government for poor planning, with some spending over ten hours on the road while others were forced to trek miles to reach their destinations.

In viral videos flooding social media, frustrated commuters vented their anger, calling the gridlock a disaster in the making.

“Welcome to Lagos! I spent four hours just trying to move a few kilometers. This city is unlivable!” lamented an X user, Chris Ejiofor.

Another commuter, Dr. Lakinbofa Goodluck, shared a distressing story of a friend who nearly collapsed from ulcer complications due to the prolonged stay in traffic, barely surviving thanks to an emergency food delivery from colleagues.

Tragedy Strikes: Death and Injury Amid the Standstill

While many cursed their luck in the excruciating gridlock, others faced unimaginable heartbreak.

A seven-year-old boy lost his life, unable to reach the hospital in time because the car carrying him was stuck for hours in traffic.

“The boy had been referred to a private hospital, but they couldn’t move because of the congestion. By the time they got out, it was too late,” a source close to the family revealed.

In another grim incident, a septuagenarian who had spent hours in traffic decided to trek home—only to fall into a hidden manhole, leaving her with severe injuries requiring multiple surgeries. Her family, still in shock, had been preparing to celebrate her 70th birthday this Sunday.

“We were planning a grand birthday for her. Now she’s in the hospital instead, fighting for her life,” her relative, Tosin Kassim, said.

Government Scrambles for Damage Control

As public outrage mounted, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu rushed to the site on Thursday, apologizing for the disruptions and admitting that the situation had spiraled beyond expectations.

“We understand the hardship this has caused Lagosians, but the bridge’s structural integrity was failing. Immediate repairs were necessary to avoid a disaster,” Sanwo-Olu explained.

Meanwhile, Federal Controller of Works, Olukorede Kesha, announced plans to reopen the bridge partially, revealing that engineers were racing against time to complete emergency work by Friday.

However, critics slammed the government for poor planning and lack of proactive measures, with popular TV anchor Rufai Oseni calling the situation “a joke of a leadership failure.”

Lagosians Left to Fend for Themselves

With no immediate relief in sight, Lagosians braced for more traffic horror in the coming weeks, as the bridge closure is expected to last until May 2025.

For now, residents are left with two options: battle the chaos or find alternative routes—if they exist at all.

Tragedy and Accusations: Lagos Hospital Denies Rejecting Dying Pregnant Woman Over N500,000 Deposit

Tragedy and Accusations: Lagos Hospital Denies Rejecting Dying Pregnant Woman Over N500,000 Deposit

Tragedy and Accusations: Lagos Hospital Denies Rejecting Dying Pregnant Woman Over N500,000 Deposit

Lagos, Nigeria – A storm of controversy has erupted following the tragic death of a pregnant woman, Kemi Folajimi, after her husband accused a private hospital in Ibeju-Lekki of refusing to treat her due to his inability to pay an upfront N500,000 deposit.

The grieving husband, Akinbobola Folajimi, made the claim in a heartbreaking viral video that has since sparked outrage across social media. In the footage, Kemi, visibly weak, sat inside a car while her desperate husband pleaded for her to stay strong.

“My goodness! Kemi, look at me. Stay strong; think about your kids, please!” he cried out.

Folajimi later alleged that after being turned away by As Salam Convalescent Centre, they rushed to a general hospital in Epe, but his wife tragically passed away before she could receive treatment.

“The doctor told me to deposit N500,000, and I begged him to start treatment while I ran around for the money. But they drove us out like we were nothing,” he wrote online.

Hospital Founder Fights Back, Denies Allegations

Amid the uproar, Dr. Rauf Salami, founder of As Salam Convalescent Centre, has strongly denied the accusation, calling it a complete misrepresentation of events.

“At no point did we demand any money from the family. The woman arrived in critical condition, having already convulsed twice at home. After examining her, we immediately referred her to Epe General Hospital, which was better equipped to handle her case,” Salami explained.

He further clarified that Kemi was not a registered patient at the facility and had never visited before the day of the incident.

“We did not even transfer her from the wheelchair she was brought in with. Within minutes, we advised the husband to seek urgent help at a bigger hospital. The claim that we refused to treat her over money is completely false.”

Public Outrage and Calls for Accountability

The viral video has led to widespread condemnation of private hospitals allegedly prioritizing money over human life, with many calling for stricter healthcare regulations. Some social media users demanded a full investigation into the incident, arguing that healthcare facilities should not turn away patients in distress, regardless of financial constraints.

Meanwhile, Salami expressed frustration over the backlash, admitting that the controversy had deeply affected him.

“People have even advised me to sue the husband, but I have left everything in God’s hands. My integrity speaks for itself, and those who know our hospital will vouch for us,” he said.

A Systemic Healthcare Failure?

While the blame game continues, some experts have pointed to deeper issues plaguing Nigeria’s healthcare system, including poor emergency response infrastructure, inadequate funding for public hospitals, and the unaffordability of private medical care.

The Federal Ministry of Health has yet to comment on the controversy, but the incident has once again raised critical questions about the accessibility of quality maternal healthcare in Nigeria.

For now, Kemi Folajimi’s death remains a tragic reminder of the life-or-death consequences tied to Nigeria’s struggling healthcare system.
