Some commercial motorcyclists in Lagos have caused quite a stir on social media after making use of a pedestrian bridge to beat traffic.
A video of the motorcyclists making use of the bridge was shared on Instagram by @instablog9ja and many couldn't hide their surprise.
Passengers sat comfortably on the motorcycles as the riders audaciously made use of the bridge without minding the consequences of their actions.
We could not verify the particular bridge in Lagos the okada riders made use of as @instablog9ja didn't add much details to the caption.
