This is so very sad! A deaf and dumb graduate, identified as
Ibrahim, was on Tuesday at about 2pm, crushed to death by a train in the
Oyingbo area of Lagos State.
Ibrahim was said to have been walking along the track when a train
that just took off from the Iddo station crushed him to death. He was
reportedly heading towards the Oko Baba area of the state.
Those at the scene of the accident said efforts to alert him of
the oncoming train and ultimately save him from the....
impending danger were
abortive, as he did not respond to alerts until it was too late.
The victim's body was said to have been cut into two, while his
arms and legs were chopped off An eyewitness said:
“Ibrahim was a graduate of a university in Ibadan, Oyo State. He
came to Lagos to work. He was deaf and dumb.
“Around 2pm, after observing the Islamic prayer, we saw him
walking beside the track; then he entered the main track.
“When we saw the train hooting and he continued walking, we became
alarmed. Some people threw water on him, while others even threw stone at him.
But he did not pay attention. He merely shook them off and readjusted his cap,”
Punch reports.
His remains were said to have been moved into a commercial bus and
covered with leaves and hard paper.
May his soul RIP.
