The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has warned motorists to exercise caution around Otedola Bridge following a tanker fire that reportedly engulfed several vehicles.
The incident has renewed concerns about road safety and the risks posed by burnt-out vehicles and tanker wreckage left around busy highways.
LASEMA’s warning underscores the need for prompt removal of damaged vehicles, proper assessment of the affected area and adequate safety measures to protect road users from further danger.
The incident also highlights the potential consequences of tanker accidents on major transport corridors, where fires can cause severe damage, disrupt traffic and expose motorists and nearby residents to danger.
Motorists using the affected route are advised to remain vigilant and comply with instructions from emergency responders and traffic management officials.
Authorities are expected to clarify the condition of the affected vehicles, the extent of the damage and the measures being taken to secure the area and prevent further incidents.
