Mile 2 Bridge is one of the busiest bridges in Lagos, it connects Oshodi Expressway to Berger, Orile, and Iba Express.
The bridge which starts from Jakande Estate Extension near Mile 2 serves as a good hideout for hoodlums.
This is because, not having a floodlight, it is always dark in the evening. Ask anybody. Mile 2 under-bridge is one of the scariest and perhaps deadliest places to be at night in Lagos.
Recently, some hoodlums operating around the area attacked a petrol tanker driver conveying petroleum products to somewhere outside the vicinity.
In an attempt to force him to spill some of the content for their scooping, they reportedly hit him multiple times with metal bars until they were able to have their way.
Rita Oyedepo, a nurse who resides in Ibadan but who found herself in Lagos in the course of attending a social function, narrated how the hoodlums operating in the same area robbed her of her phone and money, in a twinkle of an eye.
“The guys pretended to be fighting,” she said. “I didn’t go close because I had heard tales of their atrocities. At a point, they began to move closer to me but the closer they came, the farther I moved away until someone bumped into me from behind as I was trying to steer clear of the fighting boys. While we were busy apologizing to each other, I didn’t know when the boys made away with my purse containing my phone and money. It was someone who drew my attention to it but by then it was already too late. It was a painful experience. It is still painful as I am talking to you.
