However, some eyewitnesses said several people on the BRT bus were injured.

They also claimed that the BRT was parked loading its passengers at the bus stop before the truck loaded with cows heading for Lagos rammed into it, taking it off the road to destroy shops and kiosks by the roadside.

The cow truck had been towed a little away from the scene so as not to hinder traffic.
