A video has shown a man walking on a rope across the bridge and the train tracks at CMS Bus Stop in Lagos on Thursday.
The man reportedly walked to the Onome rig on the Lagos lagoon.
While some claim that this was a tightrope stunt by a foreigner who wants to break a new global record, others said it was for another purpose and that the Lagos State government was fully aware of it.
