A man identified only as Chude Nnamdi has taken to social media to lament the bad state of the canopy walk bridge at the Lekki Conservation Centre, warning visitors to beware of the damaged parts.
The video, which has since gone viral, was shared on his X handle on Monday, with the caption, “Beware of these damaged parts of the Cable bridge in Lekki Conservation Centre”

“This is 49ft above the ground, not even the ground, a swamp look at I saw, look at this. I mean if anyone get fall from here, God forbid what can happen.
“This has been there for quite a long time, this is a place known to house crocodile and all sorts.”
