Another tanker explosion has occurred on the outward Lagos section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, bringing vehicular movement to a halt.
The no-movement situation followed an inferno which engulfed the petrol tanker on Magboro bridge just before the Mountain Top University and the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry camp grounds.
The petrol tanker fire which occurred about 4.15am has forced motorists to take alternative route.
According to traffic advisory issued by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the Lagos-Ibadan Corridor is a no-go area until the fire is brought under control.
“Relentless efforts are still being made to extinguish the fire by men of Fire Service backed up by men of other agencies around the scene of the inferno.
“We, therefore, advise the general public to have an adequate planning for their trips for those who cannot cancel their planned journeys.
“We also advise that travellers who are bound to transit in and out of Lagos from the neighbouring state to explore alternative routes where necessary,” DCC Kehinde G. Hamzat, Corridor Commander, Lagos-Ibadan-Egbeda Corridor, said in a statement, a copy of which was obtained by Persecondnews.
“All hands are on deck to ensure that the situation is professionally managed and the road returned to proper use for the public.”
