That's not a dead man so it's not a graphic pic. Apparently he was knocked down by hit and run car at 10pm yesterday Friday October 31st. The person who took the photo said for two hours, the man was breathing, that they called 767 and 112, but all they got was that emergency response were on their way.
But he said until he left the scene around midnight, the emergency response team hadn't shown up, and there was no traffic at this time as the road was free.
So, we need to know; does emergency response work in Lagos? Why does it take them forever to get to the scene of an accident? The relevant authorities need to look into this biko...

It is UNSAFE for the man to be moved by untrained persons. Many people have survived being knocked down but have died when they have been moved. The emergency services are trained to ask the injured specific questions. The answer to these questions will determine how the person knocked down is moved. For example he may have suffered a broken leg or fractured back - moving him can kill him.
I hope they did eventually turn up and administer medical assistance!

Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't show up because no one could get in touch with the driver of the vehicle who took the vehicle out to see his girlfriend or to a bear parlor (probably not far from where the man was knocked down) and decided to switch off his phone so his wife would not be able to reach him and ask where he is or when he's due home.
