A social media user has shared a frightening but ultimately unexpected experience she had while using a pedestrian bridge along Agege Road in Lagos.
According to her account posted on X (formerly Twitter), she initially became overwhelmed with fear after noticing a group of men she described as looking “rough” while climbing the bridge. Panicked by their presence, she considered turning back immediately, worried for her safety.
However, her fear soon eased when the men spoke calmly to her and reassured her that she had nothing to worry about. Despite their friendly disposition, the woman admitted that she still gave them the little cash she had with her, explaining that she acted out of caution to avoid any potential trouble.
In her words, she wrote that her heart “dropped” upon seeing them but that they turned out to be kind and polite, a response she did not expect given the situation.
The post sparked widespread reactions online, with many users sharing mixed opinions. Some praised her for being cautious, noting that remaining calm and respectful in such situations can prevent escalation. Others expressed concern about safety on pedestrian bridges across Lagos, calling on the government to address the growing presence of loiterers and improve security in public spaces.
Overall, the story has reignited conversations about public safety, perception versus reality, and the need for better monitoring of pedestrian bridges to ensure commuters feel safe at all times.
