Actress Kehinde Bankole calls Third mainland bridge railings a hazard, seeks government intervention

Top Nollywood actress, Kehinde Bankole, has called the short railings on the Third Mainland Bridge a hazard while imploring the government to intervene.

Bankole stated that the short railings is a ‘disaster waiting to happen’, saying one could easily trip and fall into the water especially while trying to fix a broken-down vehicle.

She stated that the government ought to have increased the height of the railing during the recent rehabilitation of the bridge by the Federal Government.

Bankole took to her Instagram page to reveal her fears via a video saying, “Am I the only one who finds the Third Mainland Bridge’s railings very short? Am I the only one who is weird? Maybe it is not short and I am the only one who is thinking that the railing is short?

“Each time I am being driven or I drive myself across the Third Mainland Bridge I always wonder that it feels that the railing on the bridge is quite short.

“It looks as if the railing is so short that if someone should lean on it especially while fixing a car you could trip and fall into the water by mistake.

“I am calling on the Ministry of works to do something about it. Something should be done about the railing because we use the Third Mainland Bridge a lot. I know that repairs were made on the bridge some time ago.

“Can the railing be made higher? That railing looks like a hazard, it looks like a disaster waiting to happen. I feel we should not sit down like ducks waiting for the disaster to happen before we speak up. That Third Mainland Bridge’s railing is short.”
