The pandemonium at Ojota, where many pedestrians were previously forced to queue to use the only pedestrian bridge, seem now to be over, even as the median through which people could cross the busy express road, has been renovated to great standard.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in a bid to ensure that Lagosian enjoy ease of life, has fixed the bridge which had lost form after years of abandonment.
Few months ago, pedestrians trying to cross from Ikorodu road towards Maryland collided on the bridge with people coming from the Ogudu axis.
The bridge was so overcrowded that hundreds of pedestrians queued at the foot of the bridge waiting for their turn to cross to the other side.

Pedestrians who made attempts to make their way through the metal barricades were sent back by hefty bouncers.
According to Lagos Metro, many desperate pedestrians who said that they were late for work had already kicked down the barricade and were making frantic efforts to cross to the other side but were stopped by the bouncers who resorted to violence by rough handling some people.
Sensing that the situation was getting out of control, the bouncers and some Kick Against Indicipline (KAI) officials watched helplessly as the barricade was broken down and people crossed to the other side.
