Assaults by rapists and snakes worsen tales of neglect at the sprawling railway compound in Lagos, GEOFF IYATSEreports
Away from the buzz and noises of Lagos, welcome to the Railway Compound in Ebute-Meta, in the heart of the highly commercial city. Although the world outside is largely corrupt and polluted, residents of this popular facility of the Nigeria Railway Corporation still enjoy a good measure of serenity.
But while they still, for instance, enjoy songs from birds, they are also grappling with decadence. Those familiar with the place note that it has become a shadow of itself – what with assaults from rapists and snakes that occasionally put the residents on the edge.
