A painful incident occurred yesterday in Lagos when a moving train chopped off the hand of a passenger hanging on the train.
Witnesses said the incident occurred at Oshodi around 9 a.m on Monday morning when the victim, who was simply identified as Ernest, allegedly fell from the moving train which had a hitch in movement.
Mr Olu Atoyebi, an eyewitness said Ernest fell from the moving train while his hand was stuck in between the coaches resulting to the hand being chopped off. He also blamed the victim for the tragedy, saying there have been campaigns by the government against such act.
‘’The government had been campaigning against hanging on the coach but many passengers are adamant and they will have themselves to blame in case of eventuality,’’ he said.
Sympathisers howver came to his rescue after hearing him shout for help. Ernest who was said to be conscious at that time, asked the sympathisers to reach out for his phone and invite his relations to take him to the hospital.
