RIP Bro Kurata,
This was an avoidable accident if not for Lekki Concession Company that narrowed a 3 and half line road into a two lane bridge and left the side lane to the river without any sign or barrier (protection bars)
I am sure LCC will be happy to have killed 2 more persons in this accident.
RIP my dear Cousin, more grease to your elbow LCC and don’t forget that what goes around comes around
