Commuters were stranded on Tuesday morning at the various Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) terminals across Lagos State.
There are speculations that BRT suspended operations for fear of attack following the death of 22-year-old Bamise Ayanwole, who was allegedly abducted and killed after boarding a BRT vehicle on Friday.
Our correspondent, who visited the Ikorodu BRT terminal, confirmed that there were no buses at the terminal to convey stranded passengers to their various destinations.
An official of Primero, who preferred anonymous, confirmed that the operations of the BRT had been temporarily suspended across the state owing to the unfortunate incident that led to the killing of Bamise.
He, however assured the commuters that the issue is handled by the state government and that services will be restored as soon as possible.
Asked what was being done about it, the official said he could not say.
All efforts to reach the Primero head office proved abortive as at the time of filing this report as the calls were unanswered.
