Some eyewitnesses said the man threw himself in front of the train, some
said he was just walking across the railway track with his friends when
a train coming from Agege approached early yesterday morning around the
Bolade area of Oshodi. Don't know which one is accurate but there's one
fact; the unidentified man was crushed into pieces by the train. When I
say into pieces, I mean head off, hand off, leg off, cut into two from
the stomach. Horrific!
