News reaching CEOAFRICA news desk is that an unidentified male body was found on the rail track early on Tuesday in Lagos around Powerline Bus Stop, Agbado crossing.

The middle-aged man, whose face was down, and body dismembered is believed to have been run over by the early morning train.

According to source, efforts to make contact with those whose telephone numbers appeared on a piece of paper in the dead man’s wallet yielded no result.

A male voice that answered one of the calls said he did not know anyone around the area where the accident occurred.

Some persons who were at the scene said they found the body with other personal items scattered around the track at about 6 a.m.

A passerby said the position of the body and his apparel suggested the deceased was backing the train.

“From what I can see, I think the young man was backing the train and probably did not hear the coming train and since the weather was foggy, he could not have seen the front lights.’’

It was also revealed that no identification card was found on the corps but a passport photograph was seen along with the other items.
